Abstract:

The N-butyl-pyridinium-based ionic liquid [BPy]BF4 was prepared. The effect of extraction desulfurization on model oil with thiophene and DBT was investigated. Ionic liquid and hydrogen peroxide were tested in extraction-oxidation desulfurization to model oil. The results show that ionic liquid [BPy]BF4 is effective to remove sulfur content in model oil. The best conditions are V(IL)∶V(Oil)∶V(H2O2)=1∶1∶0.4, 55 ℃ and 30 min. The ratios of desulfurization to thiophene and DBT reached 78.5% and 84.3%, respectively, which were much higher than extraction desulfurization only with ionic liquid. In this condition, effect of desulfurization on FCC gasoline was also investigated, the desulfurization was 56.3%. Regenerate ionic liquid can be used more than 4 times.
