It simply means removing sulphur from. Sulphur is a very common element and its compounds are found in many minerals and ores.
Sulfur is removed from fossil fuels through a process called desulfurization. This can involve methods like hydrodesulfurization, which uses hydrogen to convert sulfur compounds into hydrogen sulfide, which can then be captured and removed. Alternatively, flue gas desulfurization can be used to remove sulfur dioxide from the emissions produced when fossil fuels are burned.
Sulphur dioxide release in UK power stations is prevented through the use of desulfurization technologies, such as flue gas desulfurization systems that remove sulphur compounds before they are emitted into the atmosphere. Additionally, the UK has regulations in place that set limits on sulphur dioxide emissions from power stations, which are enforced through monitoring and compliance protocols.
Sulfuric acid is used in trace amounts (less than 1%) in certain processes in oil refining, such as alkylation and desulfurization. Its main role is to catalyze chemical reactions and facilitate the production of cleaner fuels.
Calcium carbonate can be used in some industrial processes, like flue gas desulfurization, to help remove harmful emissions such as sulfur dioxide. It reacts with the emissions to form less harmful compounds like calcium sulfite or sulfate, which can then be safely disposed of.
To remove SO2 from a chimney, you can use flue gas desulfurization technologies such as wet scrubbers, dry sorbent injection, or electrostatic precipitators. These technologies help capture and neutralize SO2 emissions before they are released into the atmosphere. Regular maintenance and monitoring of these systems are essential to ensure effective removal of SO2.
A biodesulfurization is a process of desulfurization by means of living organisms.

I know what it is. It is the removal of sulfur form a fuel source (especially coal) before it is combusted to produce electricity. What I am trying to find out is the main methods for desulfurization
