Abstract

Sulfur removal from residual fuel oil has received increasing attention in recent years mainly for the preparation of clean feedstocks for downstream conversion units and to meet the new specifications for petroleum products. This review presents discussion of non-conventional methods of fuel oil desulfurization other than hydrodesulfurization (HDS). These methods include oxidation, electrochemical, sodium, alkali, chemical treatment, and biodesulfurization.
