Abstract
The classification, synthesis, physico-chemical properties, and application in petroleum industry of room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) are reviewed. RTIL as unique catalyst and solvent demonstrate great potential in extraction-separation and catalytic degradation of organics. RTIL are obviously effective in catalytic degradation processing of heavy crude oil and other grades of non-standard energy sources, in desulfurization and denitrogenation of hydrocarbon fuels, and in disposal of oilfield produced water and sewage water. The problems encountered in use of RTIL are analyzed and the prospects of RTIL for petroleum industry are forecasted.
