Abstract—

Theoretical and experimental methods were used to model the adsorption desulfurization process of hydrocarbon fuels with the pivalates Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) deposited on silica gel of various porosities via ultrasonic action. The proposed adsorbents make it possible to reduce the content of toxic sulfur components to 4 ppm.
