Mineral biotechnological applications, eg, bioleaching and bio-beneficiation, for waste
treatment and resource recovery have invited due attention owing to their economic and eco …

Coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel combusted to generate power or used to produce liquid
or gas fuels with high energy densities. The abundance of coal reserves and the …

In this study, aerobic biodegradation of crude oil was simulated using Pseudomonas
aeruginosa XJ16, Bacillus cereus XJ20, and Acinetobacter lwoffii XJ19 bacteria for 90 days …

The present work deals with the use of iron/sulfur-oxidizing bacterium Acidithiobacillus
ferrooxidans for the desulfurization of a coal sample from Assam, India. The coal sample …

This study mainly combines single factor experiment with orthogonal experiment to
systematically investigate the effects of particle size, inoculum amount, pH value of the …

The present work investigated an effective reductive desulfurization method for thiophene
sulfur in high organic sulfur coal utilizing the potassium tert-butoxide/hydrosilane. Maximum …

Refining of crude oil generates large volumes of wastewater containing phenolics, long-
chain hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heterocyclics and heavy …

A nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique was applied to determine the
devolatilization kinetic parameters of completely different genesis samples of four groups …

Direct application of high-sulfur fuels and ores can cause environmental pollution (such as
air pollution and acid rain) and, in serious cases, endanger human health and contribute to …

The sulfur of coal limits its clean utilization, while the biodesulfurization technology shows
great development potential and application prospects for coal desulfurization. With a view …
