Effects of Ionic Liquid, 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Chloride ([EMIM]Cl), on the Material and Electrical Characteristics of Asphaltene Thin Films

Abstract: Asphaltene is a component of crude oil that has remained relatively unexplored for organic electronic applications. In this study, we report on its extraction technique from crude oil tank bottom sludge (COTBS) and its thin-film characteristics when 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIM]Cl) ionic liquid (IL) was introduced as dopants. The extraction technique yielded asphaltene with more than 80% carbon content. The IL resulted in asphaltene thin films with a typical root-mean-square surface roughness of… Show more

“…The vapor pressure of ILs remains negligible at near ambient temperature [17] and ILs show no sign of distillation below the temperature of their thermal decomposition [18]. The investigations into ILs have been widened for various applications, for example in heterogeneous catalysts [19], biomedicine [20], lithium-ion batteries [21], extraction from plant biomass [22], sulfur and nitrogen removal from fuels [23], dopants [24], solvents for organic reaction at high temperature [25], and biomass dissolution using amino acid ILs (AAILs) [26] and acetate-based ILs (Ac-ILs) [27]. The careful selection of cations and anions has been carried out to tailor targeted properties for asphaltene stability by recognizing the interaction and mechanism between ILs and asphaltenes.…”

“…Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) and their applications have attracted great attention due to their advantages of having thermal stability, low vapor pressure, and green characteristics [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. The catalytic aquathermolysis of heavy crude oil is one of the most popular catalytic applications and was studied by different researchers [ 8 , 12 , 27 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”
