Total Acid Number Reduction of Naphthenic Acid Using Subcritical Methanol and 1-Butyl-3-Methylimidazolium Octylsulfate
Abstract Naphthenic acids (NAs) are naturally occurring organic acids present in crude oil and bitumen as contaminants. Their presence in the crude oil greatly reduces the quality and price of crude oil. NAs also causes corrosion in the production...
