Abstract:
Researchers synthesized 56 ionic liquids in parallel format under one-pot, solvent-free microwave assisted synthesis. The compounds were evaluated as extracting agents of nitrogen-containing compounds from a real Diesel feed before being submitted to the hydrodesulfurization process to obtain ultralow sulfur Diesel.
Results demonstrate that halogenated ionic liquids are an excellent alternative.  This is due to the fact that these ionic liquids are relatively inexpensive, present a high selectivity for the extraction of nitrogen-containing compounds and can be regenerated and recycled.
