The ionic liquids used were 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octyl sulphate (BmimOcSO4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (BmimAc). The effect of the amounts of H2O2 on oxidative desulphurization of model oil was first investigated without the usage of ionic liquids at room temperature. The results indicate that greater amount of H2O2 give higher desulfurization and the maximum desulfurization in this study, i.e. 34 %, was occurred when the molar ratio of H2O2 to sulfur was 5:1. With the usage of ionic liquid and the molar ratio of 5:1 (H2O2:sulfur), the efficiency of DBT removal from model oil was increased significantly in terms of percent removal and removal time. Ionic liquid of BmimOcSO4 performed better than BmimAc with 72 % DBT removal. When molar ratio of H 2O2 to sulphur was 5:1, volume ratio of ionic liquid to model oil was 1:1 and mixing time was 60 min at room temperature. The results indicate the potential of ionic liquids as the extractant and catalyst for oxidative desulfurization of hydrocarbon fuels. © 2012 American Institute of Physics. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84874181953&doi=10.1063%2f1.4757476&partnerID=40&md5=cbf0e3ac1c400685e2cdc9c2706dc8b0 id_number: 10.1063/1.4757476 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1482 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 258-262 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735410947 issn: 0094243X citation: Taha, M.F. and Atikah, N. and Chong, F.K. and Shaharun, M.S.
