Abstract
A method of desulfurizing a liquid hydrocarbon comprises providing an initial processing unit and an end processing unit, the initial processing unit having an initial reactor assembly and an initial sorption system, the end processing unit having an end reactor assembly, a separator and an end sorption system. The method further comprises feeding a liquid hydrocarbon having a sulfur content into the initial reactor assembly, feeding an aqueous feed into the initial reactor assembly, shear mixing the liquid hydrocarbon and the aqueous feed within the initial reactor assembly, to, in turn, react the aqueous feed with the sulfur content of the liquid hydrocarbon, and directing the liquid hydrocarbon and aqueous feed to the initial sorption system. The method even further comprises feeding a sorbent into the initial sorption system and adsorbing at least some of the sulfur content that has reacted with the aqueous feed from the liquid hydrocarbon.
