Biodesulfurization of Fossil Fuels: Analysis and Prospective

Biodesulfurization of fossil fuels.

Biotechnological techniques enabling the specific removal of sulfur from fossil fuels have been developed. In the past three years there have been important advances in the elucidation of the mechanisms of biodesulfurization; some of the most significant relate to the role of a flavin reductase, DszD, in the enzymology of desulfurization, and to the use of new tools that enable enzyme enhanceme...

Biodesulfurization of Fossil Fuels- an Overview

Since the industrial revolution mankind has been dependent on fossil hydrocarbon fuel for a very large proportion of total energy needs. Many of the fluid forms also had lower sulphur content than coal and were therefore more attractive from the environmental impact standpoint. Combustion of sulfur-containing compounds in fossil fuels emits sulfur oxides, which can cause adverse effects on heal...
