What is it about?

The bio-modification of polyvinyl alcohol by Rhodococcus erythropolis described herein produces a new biocatalyst which can be used for significantly reducing the thiophenic compounds of gasoline and other fossil fuels. The immobilization process is to increase the biodegradation efficiency of cells and accelerating the biodesulphurization process.

Why is it important?

The bacterial cell immobilization by adsorption on polymeric supports is an effective methodology to modified gasoline BDS process. The bio modification of polyvinyl alcohol by R. erythropolis produces biocatalysts with an active metabolism that facilitate the interaction of bacterial strain with hydrophobic gasoline thiophenic compounds.

Perspectives

this paper is part of a research on biodesulphurizaion of gasoline.gas oil ,fuel oils (mazut) and crude oils.
