58Louis MercierIn partnership with/En collabor<strong>at</strong>ion avec Imperial Oil LtdRemoval of sulfur-containing compounds from fuels usingtailored nanostructured absorbentsA grant of $ 74,919 for three years.Une subvention de 74 919 $ pour trois ans.Collabor<strong>at</strong>ive Research and Development Grant –<strong>Subventions</strong> de recherche et développement coopér<strong>at</strong>iveThe presence of sulfur in transport<strong>at</strong>ion fuels is a major issue for petroleumpro<strong>du</strong>ct pro<strong>du</strong>cers because these compounds release environmentally noxioussulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) into the environment when they are burned (for instance,by automobiles). This goal of this research is to develop a new method toremove sulfur-containing compounds from fuels using novel nanostructuredadsorbents th<strong>at</strong> are designed to specifically capture these compounds fromfuel, resulting in fuel with lower sulfur content.
