Abstract

Abstract Biodesulfurization of fossil fuels is a promising method for treating the high sulfur content of crude oils and their derivatives in the future. This method is environmentally friendly and can desulfurize recalcitrant organosulfur compounds. Bioreactions depend on the treated fluid, targeted sulfur compounds, and the biotreaters applied. Various analytical methods support this treatment, including measurement of total sulfur and speciation of organosulfur compounds (HCS). Monitoring of intermediates, end products, biomass growth, and identification using methods such as genes, DNA, and hydrocarbons is also possible. Additionally, testing the occurrence of desired and undesired products is important. This history review summarizes these methods.
