Abstract: | This paper provides a general overview of microwave applications in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of various petroleum streams. Deep desulfurization is required for petroleum streams due to stringent sulfur specifications to meet environmental norms. The progress achieved during recent years in catalyst-based HDS technologies is illustrated by using microwaves due to its unique selective and volumetric heating capacity. Based on literature reports, it may be concluded that microwave assisted desulfurization of petroleum streams can be successfully performed under less severe conditions, with significant advantages. This is expected to result in savings in utilities, catalyst consumption, eventually leading to increased fuel yields. |
