The effect of ZIF-67 nanoparticles on the desulfurization performance of deep eutectic solvent based nanofluid system

The nanoparticles of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) were synthesized and added to ethanolamine/deep eutectic solvent solution to form nanofluid system. The dynamic removal performance of prepared nanofluid system for hydrogen sulfide was investigated. For the system based on choline chloride and urea, the introduction of nanoparticles showed significant enhancement effect on the desulfurization performance. The optimal mass fraction of nanoparticles in nanofluid systems were identified as 0.1%. Besides, the experimental results showed that the prepared nanofluid systems have high regeneration performance, and the presence of moderate moisture is beneficial to the regeneration process. The absorbents and nanoparticles before and after absorption were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrum, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The characterization results showed that the surface of nanoparticle was covered by CoS2 after absorption.
