Preparation and characterization of molybdenum oxide supported activated carbon for oxidative-extractive desulfurization / Izzaidah Riman

Activated carbon derived from empty fruit bunch (AC-EFB) is seen as a potential catalyst to perform a desulfurization of fuel. However, due to its naturally small surface area and only relying on the activated carbon only, the desulfurization efficiency was not satisfying. Hence, surface modificatio...
