“…Moreover, in hydrofining, hydrodemetallization, hydrodesulfurization, hydrodeoxidization, hydrodearomatization and olefin saturation are all carried out in parallel with hydrodenitrogenation (Raje et al , 1997; Prado et al , 2017), which is not conducive to the denitrification and sulfur retention in lubricating oil. Furthermore, some researchers (Madgavkar & Washecheck, 1988; Qi et al , 1998; Feng, 2004; Hernández-Maldonado & Yang, 2004; Huh et al , 2009; Asumana et al , 2011; Dharaskar Swapnil, 2012; Han et al , 2013; Chen et al , 2014; Martínez-Palou & Luque, 2014; Laredo et al , 2015; Ali et al , 2016; Hizaddin et al , 2016) have proposed processes such as solvent extraction, complex denitrification and the use of ionic liquids, all of which have achieved varying degrees of success.…”
