Abstract
This paper reviews various separation techniques used in purification processes to remove pollutants like carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from petroleum products. The most effective techniques include absorption, adsorption, cryogenic distillation, chemical looping combustion, and membrane separation. The study reviews over 100 published studies to assess their characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks. The choice of separation technology depends on ideal conditions, cost, efficiency, and energy required in the regeneration phase.
