Oxidation desulfurization of fuel using pyridinium-based ionic liquids as phase-transfer catalysts

Preparation, characterization and catalytic performance of HPW/aEVM catalyst on oxidative desulfurization

“…However, the value for oxidize DBT to its corresponding sulfone was much higher than the stoichiometric value O/S ¼ 2, because the excess hydrogen peroxide supplemented the consumption of thermal decomposition. 23 The effect of temperature on the ODS process was investigated as shown in Fig. 6D.…”

Recent Advances in the Science and Technology of Desulfurization of Diesel Fuel Using Ionic Liquids

“…The pyridinium-based ionic liquids are employed as phase-transfer catalysts (PTCs) for phase-transfer catalytic oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) dissolved in n-octane by D. Zhao and coworkers [63]. The partition coefficients of DBT between ionic liquids and n-octane are investigated.…”

Micellization, surface activities and thermodynamics study of pyridinium-based ionic liquid surfactants in aqueous solution

“…Owing to the inherent molecular nature, the long-chain IL molecules can self-assemble in aqueous media to form micelles, vesicles, lyotropic liquid crystals, and gels, etc. 4 The self-assembly of ILs make it suitable for a range of application such as liquid-solid extraction, 5 corrosion protection, 6 synthesis of functionalized carbon nanotubes, 7 synthesis of CuO nano-structures, 8 phase-transfer catalysts, 9 oil recovery, 10 drug/gene delivery systems, 11 dispersants of petroleum asphaltenes, 12 green solvents of carbohydrate, 13 cosmetics 14 and textile industry. 15 Therefore, micellization behavior of ILs has become one of the intriguing objects in the eld of colloid and interface chemistry.…”
