For this purpose, a mixture of hexane and xylene (1:1 v/v) was used as model fuel with thiophene (1000 μg/mL). Four hydroxyl ammonium ILs, namely 2-hydroxyethanaminium formate, 2-hydroxyethanaminium acetate (HEA), 2-hydroxyethanaminium propionate and 2-hydroxyethanaminium lactate, were used and found to be effective for the extraction/removal of sulfur from model fuel. The effect of contact time and the mass ratio of IL to the model fuel were also studied. A maximum of 72 extraction was achieved in single stage, whereas > 99 was achieved in four-stage cocurrent extraction using HEA as solvent. The regeneration and recycling possibility of the ILs for the extraction has proved their potential application for commercialization. © 2011 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84862901618&doi=10.1002%2fapj.542&partnerID=40&md5=f727d445c160e6f0cb1c40de14dbd427 id_number: 10.1002/apj.542 full_text_status: none publication: Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering volume: 7 number: 3 pagerange: 469-473 refereed: TRUE issn: 19322135 citation: Taib, M.M. and Murugesan, T.
