The adsorption of benzothiophene sulfone (BTO) from model fuel oil was investigated using three different clay mineral adsorbents. The adsorption characteristics of clay mineral adsorbents such as activated clay, bentonite and kaolinite were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy an...
