Porous BN for selective adsorption of sulfur-containing compounds from fuel oil: DFT study
Selective removal of sulfides in fuel oil is of great significance to the environment and human health. In this work
using density functional theory (DFT) with and without long-range dispersion correction
via
Grimme
s scheme (D-DFT)
the adsorption behavior and adsorption selectivity of dibenzothiophene (DBT)
n
-hexadecane
and
n
-octane and toluene on the porous boron nitrides (p-BN) with/without vacancy defect have been studied. On perfect p-BN
the adsorption energy (
E
ads
) was calculated to be 1.395
0.600 and 0.457 eV (PBE+D) for single DBT
n
-hexadecane and
n
-octane molecules respectively
indicating that the adsorption of DBT on p-BN is highly preferred over
n
-hexadecane. The strong adsorption of DBT on p-BN was attributed to the intermolecular force that derived from the interaction between the B—N polar bond and the permanent dipole of DBT molecule. With the introduction of nitrogen (V
N
) and boron (V
B
) vacancy defects
the
E
ads
of DBT increased to 1.650 and 1.875 eV (PBE+D) and the
E
ads
of the
n
-hexadecane is only 0.400 and 0.600 eV (PBE+D)
respectively. The electronic structure [calculations density of states (DOS)
the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)
total charge density together with charge density difference
and Hirshfeld charges]
reveal that the chemical interactions between the defect level and S atom in sulfide enhanced the adsorption of DBT molecule on p-BN. For practical application
other sulfur-containing organic compounds including 4
6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4
6-DMDBT)
thiophene (T)
benzothiophene (BT) and carbide toluene in fuel oil are also considered and p-BN still tends to selectively adsorb sulfides from carbides preferentially
suggesting that p-BN with/without vacancy defect is promising for the removal of sulfur-containing organic compounds from fuel oil. Finally
the defect formation energies were estimated to evaluate the energetic stability of defective p-BN. The growth of V
N
or V
B
strongly depends on the chemical environment. Under boron-rich conditions
the use of B
2
H
4
as the B source is more conducive to the formation of V
N
than the use of B
α-B
12
and BH
3
etc
. Contrastingly
the use of N
2
H
4
as the N source in the nitrogen-rich environment is more beneficial to the formation of V
B
than the use of N
2
NH
3
. Our results provide a useful guidance for the design and fabrication of porous BN sorbent for sulfur-containing organic matter removing from fuel oil.
