Abstract

Pervaporative desulfurization is a potential method for removing sulfur compounds from liquid hydrocarbon streams, having many advantages over existing methods. This overview covers the fundamentals, recent breakthroughs, and different applications of pervaporative desulfurization. The paper begins by explaining pervaporative desulfurization's core concepts, focusing on how polymeric membranes selectively separate sulfur molecules from liquid hydrocarbons. It explores membrane properties, operating conditions, and feed composition in pervaporative separation. It highlights how pervaporative desulfurization may reduce sulfur content to ultra-low levels and meet strict environmental and fuel quality standards. Finally, this comprehensive review paper concludes with a discussion on the future prospects and research directions in the field of pervaporative desulfurization. It highlights the need for continued innovation in membrane materials, module design, and process optimization, as well as the importance of addressing challenges related to scale-up and industrial implementation. Overall, this review paper provides valuable insights into the advancements, challenges, and potential applications of pervaporative desulfurization, offering a comprehensive understanding of this technology for researchers, engineers, and all parties involved in the development and implementation of sustainable sulfur removal processes.
