Abstract:A series of novel DESs were synthesized by low temperature eutectic by imidazole and its derivatives and Bu4NBr.The dibenzothiophenes in the simulated oil were extracted. The experimental results show that when the molar ratio of Bu4NBr and imidazole was 0.6,the DES showed the best extraction effect on the dibenzothiophene, and the effect of the ratio of the oil volume and the temperature on the desulfurization effect was investigated. The selectivity and recycling performance of DESs were also investigated. The results showed that the desulfurization rate of DBT was 89.2% under the conditions of 1: 6, the extraction temperature T= 20 ℃,and the desulfurization rate can be up to 95% after 4 times extractions. Under the same conditions, the order of removal ability of different thiophene derivatives is:DBT> BT> 4,6-DMDBT>T. DESs were regenerated and the desulfurization effect was good after regeneration. DESs still had higher desulfurization rate for DBT after 7 times of repeated extraction.
