Experimental and theoretical study on extraction and recovery of naphthenic acid using dicyanamide-based ionic liquids

Naphthenic acid is a toxic component that is present in the crude oil. It causes severe operational problems for oil refineries. However, naphthenic acid is a useful raw material for many industrial processes. Thus, it is advantageous to extract and recover the naphthenic acid from crude oil. Ionic...
