The influence of mass ratio (IL/fuel), extraction time and temperature was studied for an optimized condition of the benzothiophene removal. The optimization process was analyzed using Central Composite Face-Centered Experimental Design by Design Expert Version 6.0.6 (Stat-Ease, USA). The satisfactory optimum mild conditions obtained were at a mass ratio (IL/fuel) of 1:1 with extraction time of 9 min at temperature of 60°C. The adequacy of the model equation for predicting the optimum response values was validated using experimental data. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-80051876860&partnerID=40&md5=4f086eba2132f3ec27eba5924ba4acfc full_text_status: none publication: Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment volume: 15 number: 2 pagerange: 510-518 refereed: TRUE issn: 09720626 citation: Abdullah Synmsul, B. and Man, Z. and Ismail, L. and Maulud, A. and Abdul Mutalib, M.I. and Bustam, M.A. (2011) An Optimization Study on the Extraction of Benzothiophene from Model Fuel using the Ionic Liquids 1-Butyl-3-MethylimidazoliumOctylsulfate.
