Abstract:
As a green and economic emerging technology, biological desulfurization is popular. However, biological desulfurization is inhibited by organosulfur in the treatment gases which cannot be ignored. This article summarizes relevant studies on the influence of organosulfur on biological desulfurization in recent years, including the types and physicochemical characteristics of organosulfur, the influence of organosulfur on the desulfurization process, the reaction mechanism of organosulfur, the interplay between organosulfur and some operating conditions, and species of microorganisms that are tolerant to organosulfur. Methods for mitigating the effect of organosulfur on the desulfurization process are discussed, to provide references for the stable and efficient operation of biological desulfurization.
