Biodesulfurization of Refractory Organic Sulfur Compounds in Fossil Fuels by Bacterial Cells- Coated with Magnetite Nanoparticles

Clean fuel research including desulfurization has become an important subject of environmental catalysisstudies worldwide. Sulphur-containing compounds in crude oil and coal are generally divided into two major groups,inorganic sulfure and organic sulphur. Combustion of sulfur-containing compounds in fossil fuels emits sulfur oxides,which can cause adverse effects on health, environment and economy. Biodesulfurization of fossil fuels is an old conceptthat has recently been given renewed importance. The goal of biodesulfurization is to develop an economical and feasibleprocess require relatively mild condition, which coulde be a major advantage of biodesulfurization (BDS). Immobilizedmicrobial cells are frequently used in bioconversions, biotransformation, and biosynthesis processes due to their betteroperational stability, easier separation from products for possible reuse. We used of magnetite nanoparticles forenhancing biodesulfurization of Refractory Organic Sulfur.
