Abstract

The use of nanostructured materials in combination with desulfurizing microorganisms is a promising technique that would improve the desulfurization processes of gaseous fuels, oil, and some wastewater. Nanoparticles are highly versatile and tunable depending on the necessities of each particular contaminated media. The chapter shows the current technological options for the biodesulfurization of natural gas, oil and wastewater produced from the petroleum refining, where the application of nano-sized materials combined with desulfurizing microorganisms would improve the desulfurization capacities. In addition, advantages, disadvantages and opportunities of this hybrid technology are presented.
