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 …

The amount of sulfur in crude oil has become a global concern because high levels of sulfur
in refinery streams cause catalysts to become inactive and refinery equipment to corrode …

Sulfur oxide (SO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are considered as one of the major air
pollutants in the world today. In addition, high sulfur levels in petroleum distillates can …

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 step** on the …

This is the third in a series of independent research papers attempting to improve the quality
of descriptive data and analysis of tailings facility failures globally focusing on the relative …

Production of fuels, therapeutic drugs, chemicals, and biomaterials using sustainable
biological processes have received renewed attention due to increasing environmental …

The removal of sulfur by deep hydrodesulfurization is expensive and environmentally
unfriendly. Additionally, sulfur is not separated completely from heterocyclic poly-aromatic …

Biodesulfurization is a biotechnological process that employs microorganisms as
biocatalysts to remove sulfur from fuels usually at mesophilic conditions, targeting …

Biodesulfurization is a promising, environmentally friendly method to desulfurize the
organosulfur compounds in crude oils through the highly selective cleavage of carbon-sulfur …

Although conventional oil refining process like hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is capable of
removing sulfur compounds present in crude oil, it cannot desulfurize recalcitrant …
