A detailed de-acidification study at different temperatures and different ionic liquid/model oil was performed and the content of naphthenic acid before and after extraction was calculated. The ILs containing hydroxide anions has the potential to completely deacidify model oil having high TAN with extremely low ionic liquid /oil ratio. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. %Z cited By 3; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:114811
