Extractive desulfurization of dibenzothiophene by a mixed extractant of N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide and tetramethylene sulfone: optimization by Box–Behnken design

Abstract

In this paper, the performance of extractive desulfurization (EDS) from gasoline was studied using a mixed solvent, which consisted of <italic>N</italic>,<italic>N</italic>-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), <italic>N</italic>,<italic>N</italic>-dimethylformamide (DMF) and tetramethylenesulfone (TMS).
