Pratibha R. Gawande, Dr. Jayant P. Kaware

Abstract: Present paper reviews on sulphur removal from different fuels. Adsorption process is used to removal of sulphur from different fuels such as diesel, gasoline, kerosene crude oil and hydrocarbon fuels. Different investigators were used adsorption method for removal of sulphur by using different activating agents.Some of them were carried out batch process for sulphur removal and many of them were used continuous operation at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. Effect of contact time, adsorbent dose, temperature, and concentration were studied by different authors. Evaluated parameters and equilibrium data were described by different isotherm model by different investigators.
