Affinity-based removal of nitrogen compounds from liquid fuel mixtures using SQIL membranes

Caption

A silsesquioxane framework-containing ionic liquid (SQIL) membrane applied to pervaporation separation system achieved selective affinity-driven denitrogenation of binary and multicomponent hydrocarbon mixtures, underscoring its potential as a pre-treatment technology in processing nitrogen-rich liquid fuels.
