Extractive denitrogenation of fuel oils using ionic liquids

“

As the requirement for cleaner fuel oils rises, standards to lower N-contents in fuel oils will be implemented, and substitute technologies will be utilized due to limitations of the hydrotreating process to meet rising demands. Recently, ILs have proven and earned flourishing global interest as model solvents in different separation operations due to their ideal behaviour relative to traditional organic solvents. More experiments using ILs are expected to be reported as is evident from the massive number of publications.
