The Role of Microorganisms and Productions in Biodesulfurization of Fossiel Fuels

Jamshid Raheb

Desulfurization of fossil fuels demands a high technology as the crude oil is very complex mixture of molecules with a largest hydrocarbons form in composition. Hydrogenic method for desulfurization, takes higher cost and energy and also sulfur is not separated completely from heterocyclic poly-aromatic compounds. Researchers are focused on the use of microbial desulfurization [Biodesulfurization] where sulfur removal reaction acts under mild condition and with lower costs by bacteria. The method could be fixed the flaws in the hydrogenic method through microorganisms and their production role in desulfurization and in fact replace, full or partial of the hydrogenic method as a supplement.
