The oil industry is in search of the stable chemicals that can be applied in drilling,
stimulation, enhanced oil recovery at high temperature and high salinity reservoirs …

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are widely present in crude oil and oil sands process-affected water
(OSPW). NAs in crude oil lead to corrosion problems, promote emulsion formation, decrease …

Due to the superior thermophysical properties and tunable nature of ionic liquids (ILs), these
materials are considered as potential alternative for the removal of phenolic compounds by …

Given the ill-defined term “naphthenic acids”(NAs), we will classify NAs as the carboxylic
acids found naturally in crude oil, which include both classic NAs (c-NAs, monoacids) and ox …

A series of 36 dual functionalized N-(poly) ethylen glycol N-allyl-/N-benzyl imidazolium and
benzimidazolium ILs were synthesized for extractive desulfurization studies (EDS). The …

In last decade, the application of ionic liquids (ILs), as green materials, in more sustainable
technologies has received great attention. They have attractive properties, which make them …

Alkaline ionic liquids (ILs) with unconventional organic anions were prepared and used for
cellulose dissolution studies. High concentrations of cellulose were dissolved at room …

Thermal stability and thermal decomposition kinetics of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium
tetrafluoroborate ([bmim] BF 4) were investigated using isothermal and non-isothermal …

A computational screening strategy applied to 8 million synthetically diverse ionic liquids,
demonstrates its value for sustainable solvent design. In contrast to previous studies which …

Naphthenic acids (NAs) are compounds naturally present in most petroleum sources
comprised of complex mixtures with a highly variable composition depending on their origin …
