Análisis y relevancia de los procesos catalíticos para la remoción de azufre en los combustibles fósiles
Resumen
Hoy en día los procesos para remover contaminantes como el azufre han cobrado gran relevancia por las regulaciones ambientales impuestas, por lo que en este trabajo se analiza la presencia del azufre como elemento natural en el proceso de formación del petróleo. Se establecen los principales motivos por los cuales el azufre debe ser removido del petróleo. Se comenta el proceso de refinación del crudo de petróleo, así como una descripción del proceso convencional para desulfurar las fracciones de petróleo. Además, se mencionan las tecnologías complementarias y/o alternativas para disminuir el contenido de azufre a niveles establecidos por las normas internacionales. Finalmente, se discute acerca de las expectativas a futuro en el uso de combustibles de origen fósil y no fósil.
