Abstract:
1. A process for producing an adsorbent comprising: (A) providing an epoxy-functionalized metal oxide; (B) providing 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-fluorenylideneaminooxy propionic acid (TAPA); (C) reacting the epoxy-functionalized metal oxide with 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-fluorenylideneaminooxy propionic acid (TAPA), producing the adsorbent; wherein the adsorbent upon contact with a hydrocarbon mixture comprising at least one sulfur containing compound forms a charge transfer complex with the one sulfur containing compound to remove the at least one sulfur containing compound from the hydrocarbon mixture.
