This report contains the study on desulfurization of crude oil model using butyl-methylimidazolium dibutylphosphate [BMIM][DBP] (ionic liquid). The classical desulfurization process involves catalytic hydrogenation of sulfur compounds (hydrodesulfiirization, HDS) into hydrogen sulfide. The hydrog...
