Mechanism of activated carbon desulfurization is researched according to the result of adsorbing performance experiment using different adsorbents. Argument is presented that effective adsorption sites are produced only at a certain reaction space that can provide appropriate distances and configurations between reactant molecules. Analysis and estimation of reaction space in the whole reaction process are done on the basis of Zawadzki’s desulfurization theory. Studies show that the aperture distribution of adsorbent is a crucial factor in the adsorption process and effective adsorbing reaction space will generate when aperture width is over 1.0nm.
