| Summary: | The purification of a hydrotreated gas oil by liquid-liquid extraction with
N-methylpyrrolidone as solvent has been studied. The results showed that this
method, under appropriate experimental conditions, has reduced sulphur
content of the gas oil from 174 ppm to 28 ppm, nitrogen content has decreased
from 58 ppm to 15 ppm, aromatics content has diminished from 27.1 % to 13.8 %
and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were totally extracted. The refined
gas oil obtained can be used to produce clean diesel fuel for the
environment. |
