Biocatalytic desulfurization (BDS) of petrodiesel fuels.
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 road to zero-sulfur fuel, with only differences in the starting point of sulfur level and rate reduction of sulfur content between different countries. Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is the most common technology u...
متن کاملDeep Desulfurization of Transportation Fuels with Nanoreactions
Burning sulphur-laden transportation fuels results in misty and fuggy air of large cities. The combustion products of sulphur-laden fuels poison the exhaust conversion catalyst and invalidate the catalyst box. As results, the vehicle emission gets worse and worse no matter how advanced the auto technology is. Some sulphur compounds converted to sulphates after combustion and emitted into the at...
متن کاملNew Sorbents for Desulfurization of Diesel Fuels via -Complexation
Desulfurization of a commercial diesel fuel by different adsorbents was studied in a fixed-bed adsorber operated at ambient temperature and pressure. In general, the adsorbents tested for total sulfur adsorption capacity at breakthrough followed the order: AC/Cu(I)-Y Cu(I)-Y Selexsorb CDX (alumina) CuCl/ -Al2O3 activated carbon Cu(I)-ZSM-5. The best adsorbent, AC/Cu(I)-Y (layered bed of 15 wt %...
متن کاملBiocatalytic Desulfurization Capabilities of a Mixed Culture during Non-Destructive Utilization of Recalcitrant Organosulfur Compounds
We investigated the biodesulfurization potential of a mixed culture AK6 enriched from petroleum hydrocarbons-polluted soil with dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a sulfur source. In addition to DBT, AK6 utilized the following compounds as sulfur sources: 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT), benzothiophene (BT), and 4,6- dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DM-DBT). None of these compounds supported the growth o...
متن کاملBiocatalytic desulfurization of thiophenic compounds and crude oil by newly isolated bacteria
Microorganisms possess enormous highly specific metabolic activities, which enable them to utilize and transform nearly every known chemical class present in crude oil. In this context, one of the most studied biocatalytic processes is the biodesulfurization (BDS) of thiophenic sulfur-containing compounds such as benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) in crude oils and refinery streams....
