Desulfurization of coal

Lecture # 10

INTRODUCTION

• During coal combustion heat is

released to produce steam in boilers.

• Sulfur in the form of pyrite FeS

2

is

transformed into the gas phase as
SO

x

after combustion process.

• One of the cheaper method of

removing sulfur from coal is
biological process.

Microbial desulfarization

• Bioleaching support a use of bacteria

to remove of pyritic sulfur from coal.

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and

Sulfolobus acidocaldarius were well
known to be effective in removing
pyritic sulfur from coal.

MEOR process

• Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is

the use of

microbes

down oil wells in order

to enhance the production of marginal oil
wells. Most conventional oil recovery
processes are only able to retrieve
approximately 50% of the available oil in
the area.

• The utilization of this process can extend

the life of the average well without
increasing excessive lifting costs.
