In order to enhance the quality of the oil and reduce the air pollution, fuel desulfurization is very important. Adsorptive desulfurization is one of the promising methods for desulfurization. The present study reports on the preparation of cobalt nanoparticle loaded on the surface of porous carbon. The prepared nanomaterial was characterized and evaluated for adsorptive desulfurization of thiophene, benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model fuels. The order of the sulfur compounds in terms of desulfurization was DBT&gt;BT&gt; thiophene under the same experimental conditions.In order to enhance the quality of the oil and reduce the air pollution, fuel desulfurization is very important.
