In this study, experiments were conducted for the removal of sulfur compound (present as benzothiophene or BT) with concentration of 2000 ppm in the model oil (present as n-dodecane or nC12) using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethane ([bmim][TCM]) as the extractant. The effects of stirring speed, extraction time and water content on the extraction efficiency were investigated. In the end, the loading factor of the [bmim][TCM] is also discussed.
