Analysis and relevance of catalytic processes to remove sulfur from fossil fuels
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays processes to remove pollutants such as sulfur have become very important by the environmental regulations imposed. Therefore, the presence of sulfur as natural component on the crude oil formation is commented in this work. The main reasons to remove sulfur of the crude oil fractions were discussed. The refining process and conventional technology to remove sulfur from the crude oil fractions were explained. Complementary or alternative technologies to remove sulfur to reach international regulations were analyzed. Finally, future expectations about the use of fossil and non-fossil fuels were discussed.
