desulfurized
Stripped of sulfur
Desulfurized describes something that has had its sulfur content removed or reduced, typically through an industrial or chemical process.
The term appears most often in contexts involving fuel processing, where desulfurized gasoline or diesel produces fewer harmful emissions when burned.
The refinery produces desulfurized fuel that meets new environmental standards.
Metal ores and natural gas are also commonly desulfurized before further processing.
