Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The processing of iron oxide nanoparticles derived from spray flame synthesis for specific adsorption applications is described. After the as‐prepared particles proved the ability for H₂S removal in pure gas treatment, two different nanoparticle‐based composite materials were prepared. While impregnation of activated carbon with the as‐prepared nanoparticles showed the expected increase in H₂S adsorption capacities, a significant enhancement in desulfurization performance was observed for a novel iron oxide nanoparticle composite material. H₂S adsorption was tested in fixed‐bed breakthrough curve measurements. The H₂S removal efficiency of the novel material under ambient conditions indicates highly promising properties for potential use in industrial and air pollution control applications.</p> </abstract>
