Abstract
Melting and solidification of [BPy][FeCl4] are reversible. Researchers prepared a temperature-responsive magnetic ionic liquid (IL) N-butylpyridinium tetrachloroferrate ([BPy][FeCl4]) catalyst was prepared. Researchers noted in the oxidative desulfurization process, the thermoregulated formation of liquidliquid extractive and catalytic oxidation desulfurization system (ECODS) containing model oil, hydrogen peroxide and [BPy][FeCl4] at 40 °C.
They also detected higher sulfur removal. After finishing reaction and cooling temperature, the reaction system returned to liquidsolid state. In addition, [BPy][FeCl4] exhibits a strong response to a magnet. It can be separated easily from model oil by applying an external magnetic field, achieving five times recycling without significant decrease in activity. The effect of oxidative desulfurization of model oil with dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) was studied, revealing fast oxidative desulfurization ability.
