•A new nanocatalyst for the mercaptan removal has been synthesized.•The nanocatalyst showed good results for mercaptan removal.•The nanocatalyst has been characterized well by common methods (XRD, SEM, FT-IR).
A carbon nanotube-supported metallo carboxyporphyrin has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The prepared catalyst has been evaluated for the removal of mercaptan from gas stream in a fixed bed reactor. The effect of important operating parameters including temperature, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), and loading (%) was investigated on the mercaptan removal. The results confirmed that the mercaptan concentration could be reduced from 16,800 ppm to less than 10 ppm under optimized conditions by (Fe)TCPP-MWCNTs-NH2 as nanocatalyst.
