Abstract	Reports a study of the desulfurization ability of two imidazolium based ionic liquids from n-decane, which is used as a model of fuel. Researchers determined the systems of ternary liquid-liquid equilibria containing ionic liquid + n-decane + thiophene at three different temperatures. All systems exhibit the ability of ILs for removal of thiophene from n-decane. The selectivity and the solute distribution ratio were calculated for all systems. The data obtained were correlated with non-random two liquid NRTL model.
