Abstract

In this paper, we report the H2S adsorption behavior of a sorbent composed of mixtures of tenorite (CuO) and brochantite [Cu4(OH)6SO4]. These materials are readily prepared through the addition of NaOH(aq) to CuSO4(aq). They can be loaded onto polymer foams to create effective filters that can remov...
