A significant quantum of crude oil is trapped in reservoirs and often unrecoverable by
conventional oil recovery methods. Further downstream, the petroleum industry is facing …

The world focus on environmentally friendly fuels requires refiners to convert the
increasingly poor-quality crude oil into high-quality finished products. Refineries are facing …

This book describes the operation of the various desulfurization process units in a petroleum
refinery. It also explains the processes that produce raw materials for the petrochemical …

For a long time now, the combustion of fossil fuels to give usable energy has led to the
release of many types of pollutants into the atmosphere. Of particular interest is sulfur …

Haloalkaliphilic biological desulfurization is attracting people's attention due to its
remarkable economy and good performance. In this study, a bio-desulfurizing system was …

Petroleum refining is traditionally based on the use of physicochemical processes such as
distillation and chemical catalysis that operate under high temperatures and pressures …

For the first time, growing cells of Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A were used for
biodesulfurization (BDS) of diesel. This process was carried out in an internal airlift …

Biodesulfurization (BDS) is a promising technology for deep desulfurization. In this work,
Pseudomonas delafieldii R-8 cells are immobilized in calcium alginate beads and used for …

The application of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a source of energy leads to air pollution. The
key solution to overcome this drawback is desulfurization. Magnetic nanoparticles have …

The biodesulfurization (BDS) process consists of the use of microorganisms for the removal
of sulfur from fossil fuels. Through BDS it is possible to treat most of the organosulfur …
