Effect of Cosolvents And Surfactant in The Extraction of Aromatics from Kerosene

Extraction of aromatics from kerosene is very important to get clean fuel since the presence of aromatics prevents the production of ultra-low sulfur fuel and also for the important of these aromatics in an industry. In this study, lab-scale batch mixer-settler of 1-liter used to extract aromatic from hydrotreated kerosene by using mixture of solvents of (20wt% glycerol and 80wt%methanol) with the addition of 0.03wt% sodium thiosulfate surfactant were also best time of settling obtained at 80min. At these percent of solvent and surfactant the maximum removal percent obtained was 46.945%. (paper)
