Four N-alkyl-pyridinium-based ionic liquids, N-ethyl-pyridinium hexafluorophosphate, N-butyl-pyridinium hexafluorophosphate,4-methyl-1-ethyl-pyridinium hexafluorophosphate,and 4-methyl-1- butyl -pyridinium hexafluorophosphate were synthetized by microwave method . The simulated gasoline was prepared by mixing n-hexane, n-heptane,toluene and thiophene. Effect of extraction temperature, the ratio of solvents and diverse ionic liquids are investigated with extraction equilibrium experiment. The best conditions of transport desulfurization are discussed. The result showed that the partition ratio of [MBPy]PF6to the thiophene could exceed 1.3 at temperature 45°C , the ionic liquid composition in raffinates was undetectable, [MBPy]PF6 has the best effect on the selective removal of sulfur-contSubscript textaining compounds from gasoline among these ionic liquids. When temperature is 50°C and desulfurization agent to fuel oil is 1:1, the extraction efficiency can reach over 90% only three-step extraction for gasoline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
