Experimental investigation on the effectiveness of 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium perchlorate ionic liquid as a reducing agent for heavy oil upgrading

An ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium perchlorate, BMIMClO4, is synthesized and used as a reducing agent to upgrade a selected heavy oil. The effects of BMIMClO4 on viscosity, density, SARA contents, elemental compositions, and molecular weight of the heavy oil are studied. The results s...
