In this study, a novel method for the sulfur removal of the mixed fuel (70% vacuum gas oil and 30% natural gas condensate) using ozone microbubbles as the oxidant followed by solvent extraction in a millichannel has been investigated. In this regard, the mixed fuel was saturated with a gaseous oxidant (i.e., ozone) in a pressurized saturation chamber. After that, dissolved ozone appeared in the form of microbubbles by passing through a pressure-reducing valve, which could perform the oxidation of sulfur-containing compounds efficiently. It was revealed that ∼75% sulfur removal was achieved by oxidation of fuel for 60 min with an ozone saturating pressure of 2.5 barg, while the same level of the desulfurization was attained for 90 min of oxidation at 1.5 barg. Afterward, the oxidized sulfur compounds were removed by extraction inside a millichannel. It was found that the sulfur removal efficiency could be enhanced by 12% in comparison with solvent extraction using a batch contactor. Chemical consumption and energy input requirement are the other factors characterized in this study and compared with the conventional oxidative desulfurization process. The results have revealed that applying a saturating pressure of 1.5 barg for 120 min of ozonation has decreased the energy consumption by about 15% to achieve a certain desulfurization level.

“…The major content of the sulfur compounds (such as thiols, sulfides, and disulfides) is removed by HDS technology; however, some refractory sulfur compounds, such as dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its alkylated derivatives, cannot be easily removed by conventional HDS . In order to remove the HDS refractory sulfur compounds effectively, non-HDS methods such as adsorption, oxidation, biodesulfurization, and extractive desulfurization (EDS) have been investigated. , Extractive desulfurization (EDS) is an attractive non-HDS method due to its high capability in the removal of refractory sulfur compounds, its simplicity, and its low energy consumption due to mild operating conditions compared to HDS technology …”

In the present study, the optimization of extractive desulfurization in the microchannels was investigated using a deep eutectic solvent (DES). The influence of some operating and microchannel geometrical parameters, including the initial sulfur concentration of fuel, the length of the microchannel, the DES flow rate, and the ratio of fuel to DES flow rate (RF/D), on sulfur removal was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Moreover, the flow pattern map in the microchannels was investigated. In this regard, different flow patterns of slug, lengthy slug, smooth annular, throat annular, wavy annular, and droplet were observed in the microchannels applied in the extractive desulfurization (EDS) process. Besides, the effects of the inertial force, interfacial tension force, and viscosity force on the different flow patterns were discussed by analyzing the capillary number, the Weber number, and the Reynolds number. It was found that the most effective regime in the EDS process in the microchannel is the slug flow pattern in which the interfacial tension force (6 × 10 −5 < Weber number < 0.82767) is dominant. Based on the analysis of the RSM proposed model, it was also found that the RF/D is the main influential parameter on sulfur removal, and 73.2% sulfur removal was achieved in the microchannel under the optimum conditions in a very short residence time of 2.5 s. The results also confirmed the capability of this EDS process for sulfur removal from real diesel fuel.
