The stringent new regulations to lower sulfur content in fossil fuels require new economic
and efficient methods for desulfurization of recalcitrant organic sulfur. Hydrodesulfurization …

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 …

Oil refineries are facing many challenges, including heavier crude oils, increased fuel quality
standards, and a need to reduce air pollution emissions. Global society is stepping on the …

Sulfur (S), nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) heterocycles are among the most potent
environmental pollutants. Microbial degradation of these pollutants is attracting more and …

In situ cell separation and immobilization of bacterial cells for biodesulfurization were
developed by using superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs). The Fe3O4 NPs were …

One of the main precursors of air pollution and acid rains is the presence of the recalcitrant
thiophenic compounds, for example dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its derivatives in …

Microbial desulfurization or biodesulfurization (BDS) is an attractive low-cost and
environmentally friendly complementary technology to the hydrotreating chemical process …

Propenylbenzenes are common aromatic compounds that are often used as starting
compounds for the production of various flavours. Recently, microbial transformation has …

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 …

Biodesulfurization (BDS) was employed in this study to degrade dibenzothiophene (DBT)
which accounts for 70% of the sulfur compounds in diesel using a synthetic and typical …
