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

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 Extractive Oxidative Desulfurization of Model Oil by Magnetically Recoverable Polyoxometalate-Based Nano Catalyst

Dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT) and thiophene (T) were catalytically oxidized to their corresponding sulfone products by H2O2 in the presence of magnetically recoverable polyoxometalate-based nano catalyst. Different extracting solvents including ethanol, acetonitrile, and dimethylformamide were tested. The best results were obtained by ethanol extraction. The oxidative desulfurizat...

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...

Recent Advances in the Science and Technology of Desulfurization of Diesel Fuel Using Ionic Liquids

Sulfur-containing compounds in transportation fuels are converted by combustion to SOx, which is a major source of acid rain and air pollution [1]. For environmental protection pur‐ poses, many countries have mandated a reduction in fuels sulfur level down to 10 ppm by 2009 [2,3], and with more and more stringent regulatory constraints, it is a trend to achieve little-to-no sulfur fuels in the ...

Lewis Acidic Ionic Liquids

Until very recently, the term Lewis acidic ionic liquids (ILs) was nearly synonymous with halometallate ILs, with a strong focus on chloroaluminate(III) systems. The first part of this review covers the historical context in which these were developed, speciation of a range of halometallate ionic liquids, attempts to quantify their Lewis acidity, and selected recent applications: in industrial ...
