N2 - The aim of this work is to estimate some nitrogen (N)-adsorption properties and the N-adsorption capacity (q) required for commercial application in the ultra-low sulfur diesel production. Hydroxyl (OH) groups and interactions among the commercial adsorbent Selexsorb® CDX (CDX) and pyridine and indole were studied by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption of N-compounds from three diesel fuels over CDX was estimated at CDX/fuel ratio: 0.01–0.09 g/g, Contact time: 1–60 m, 303 K, and 0.078 MPa in a batch setup. It was concluded that an appropriate N-adsorbent should have high densities of suface OH groups and Lewis and Brønsted strong-acid sites and a q ≥ 0.70 mmol/g.
