Why we remove sulphur from coal oil and gas?
Required answer
What is a crude oil?
Crude oil is oil as it comes out of the ground. it generally contains many different weights of oil compounds, sulphur, water and sediment. Crude ranges from heavy (lots of long chain molecules) to light (short chains) and sour (lots of sulphur) to sweet (little sulphur). Artificial crude many be made from very heavy oils or recovered from the liquids associated with natural gas production.
How is sulphur content reduce in mustard oil?
to increase the temp. in process above 120 deg. centi. Pradeep Patil
What is amorphous sulphur?
when molten sulphur heated upto boiling and then poured into cold ice water then it turns elastic rubber like material which is called plastic sulphur or amorphous sulphur
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
oxygen
Why do farts smell like oil fields?
The simple answer is... sulphur ! The gas sulphur is present in oil and natural gas - and is also a by-product of our digestive system !
What are liquid oil and petroleum made from?
nitrogen and sulphur

What are liquid crude oil and petroleum made from?
nitrogen and sulphur
What is a sulfur well?
A sulphur well is where super heated steam is pumped into an underground sulphur deposit. The sulphur then liquifies and is then pumped to surface. This method is no longer employed since the introduction of low sulphur fuels. More than enough sulphur is removed from crude oil to meet world demand.
Saudi heavy crude oil specification?
API 27,5 - SULPHUR 2,92
What is cleaner to burn than oil because it does not contain sulphur?
Natural gas

What is the quality of petroleum determined by?
I think the answer to the question is the sulphur content. Sulphur combine with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide which is a pollutant. So petroleum with low sulphur content is of a high quality. Sulphur content, and how light the oil is = measured in API. Or what they call GOR (gas/oil ratio), the lighter the oil gets, the less refining it needs, the higher the quality and price.
What catalyst is used to separate sulfur from oil?
bacteria is used to remove sulphur from oil - true answer + family guy rules
What fossil fuels would contain sulfur?
All fossil fuels contain sulphur, at least to some extent. Oil that has a high level of sulphur is called 'sour' crude, as opposed to 'sweet' crude which has a low sulphur level. Natural gas can also be 'sweet' or 'sour'. Sulphur in natural gas is usually present as the poisonous gas hydrogen sulphide, and it is usually removed from natural gas as it emerges from the ground. In remote regions like northern Canada or Kazakhstan its storage can be a problem. On the other hand, oil is processed at refineries, often a long way from the source of the oil, and the sulphur is used in various industrial processes. High sulphur concentrations are also found in oil or tar sands such as are found in northern Canada and Venezuela. Coal also contains sulphur, but being a solid it is difficult to extract using conventional technologies. High-sulphur coal used to produce a lot of sulphur dioxide when it was burned, which formed sulphuric acid in the air, leading to acid rain, but nowadays the waste gases are 'scrubbed' of sulphur using a limestone wash, and the mineral gypsum is formed, which is used in plasterboard and other building materials.
How is sulfur dioxide produced when fuels burn in vehicles?
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is produced when gasoline, diesel fuel and coal or oil, all of which contain sulphur, are burned in vehicles. Sulphur is not needed so is let out as a waste product and therefore is let off by the vehicle.
