Abstract
Ionic liquids are known as salt in liquid state and act as green solvents for synthesis, separation, chemical synthesis and electrochemistry. In the petroleum refining industry, one of the focused areas is to remove the sulfur in fuel because the sulfur contained in engine emissions would give negative impact to the environment. Besides, the current method of extracting sulfur compounds from crude oil have been used which is hydrodesulfurization (HDS). Unfortunately, the efficiency of HDS is very low and limited in treating the steric hindrance type of sulfur. Hence, this report contains the study on the Synthesis of Nitrile-Functionalized sulphonium ionic liquids for the desulfurization of model oil.
