Deep Desulfurization of Oil Refinery Streams by Extraction with Ionic Liquids

Oxidative desulfurization of fuel oil by pyridinium-based ionic liquids.

In this work, an N-butyl-pyridinium-based ionic liquid [BPy]BF(4) was prepared. The effect of extraction desulfurization on model oil with thiophene and dibenzothiophene (DBT) was investigated. Ionic liquids and hydrogen peroxide (30%) were tested in extraction-oxidation desulfurization of model oil. The results show that the ionic liquid [BPy]BF(4) has a better desulfurization effect. The best...

Deep Desulfurization of Fuel Diesels Using Alkyl Sulfate and Nitrate Containing Imidazolium as Ionic Liquids

1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate [Etmim][EtSO4 ],1, 3-dimethylimidazolium methyl sulfate [Mmim][MeSO4 ] and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate [Omim][NO3 ] ionic liquids have been used in thermal oxidative desulfurization of model fuel oils consisting of 500 ppm solutions of benzothiophene (BT) and dibenzothiophene (DBT) in dodecane. The efficiency of sulfur removal from BT and DBT so...

Catalytic Oxidative-Extractive Deep Desulfurization of Diesel Fuel by N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone-Based Protic Acidic Ionic Liquids (PAILs)

Inexpensive and low-viscosity Protic Acidic Ionic Liquids (PAILs) of N-metheyl-2-pyrrolidone formate, acetate, and propionate abbreviated as [Hnmp][HCOO], [Hnmp][CH3COO] and [Hnmp][CH3CH2COO] respectively, were prepared and characterized by FT-IR and H-NMR. Deep oxidative and extractive desulfurization of a simulated oil and a real diesel containing 1000 ppm...
