Evolving Approaches to Fuel Desulfurization With Nanocomposites, IGI Global yayınevi, ss.113-146, 2026
The removal of sulfur from fossil fuels is crucial for achieving clean energy and complying with stringent environmental regulations. Although traditional desulfurisation methods are effective, they are often energy- intensive, costly, and inefficient for addressing recalcitrant sulfur compounds. Plant- based nanocomposites present a promising alternative owing to their tunable structures, high porosity, and unique surface properties that facilitate sulfur removal. This review examines the utilisation of agricultural and forestry wastes, such as rice husks, coconut shells, sugarcane bagasse, and fruit peels, in the synthesis of these materials. Eco-friendly techniques, including pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonisation, and steam activation, can be used to produce materials with high surface areas and advantageous properties. Additionally, it discusses the necessity of balancing the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties for effective application with hydrocarbons.
