Efforts to make existing separation methods more efficient and eco-friendly may get a boost
from the use of a relatively new class of compounds known as ionic liquids (ILs). The …

There is a lack of knowledge on comprehensive studies when dealing with ionic liquids and
extraction processes. In this work, the computational COSMO-based/Aspen multiscale …

We have applied molecular dynamics to calculate thermodynamic and transport properties
of a set of 19 room-temperature ionic liquids. Since accurately simulating the thermophysical …

Ionic liquids (ILs) can be used to replace conventional solvents in liquid− liquid extractions
of aromatic hydrocarbons. An IL-based extraction process requires fewer process steps and …

Commonly used solvents for separation of aromatics from aliphatics using liquid–liquid
extraction are reviewed in terms of their physical properties and separation performance …

Many separation processes in petrochemical and refining industries are applied to close
boiling point compounds and/or azeotropic mixtures which make difficult the application of …

The separation of aliphatic and aromatic compounds is a great challenge for chemical
engineers. There is no efficient separation process for mixtures with compositions lower than …

In this work we studied the applicability of one ionic liquid analogues namely phosphonium
based deep eutectic solvent (DES) in the extraction of aromatic hydrocarbons from …

The conceptual engineering of a new process proposed for the aromatic–aliphatic
separation from naphtha has been developed based on extractive distillation using the 1 …

Three different processes to separate aromatic hydrocarbons from a very low-aromatic-
content (10 wt.%) naphtha with the 4-methyl-N-butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid …
