12-Tungstophosphoric acid supported on silica-coated magnetic nano particles was prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Acidity of the catalysts was measured by potentiometric titration with n-butylamine. Catalytic activity of the prepared sample was evalu...

Pyrolysis oil derived from waste tires consists of sulfur content in the range 7000 to 9000 ppm. For use diesel engines, its must be lowered 10 15 Though conventional hydrodesulfurization is suitable for removal tire pyrolysis oil, high cost provides an avenue alternative desulfurization technologies explored. In this study, oxidative (ODS), a low-cost technology, was explored oil. Two categori...

New sulfonic acid functionalized ionic liquids (SAFILs) with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions were synthesized. These ionic liquids are strong Brønsted acids and can solubilize metal oxides. Water-immiscible SAFILs were used as organic phases in solvent extraction studies.
