A Review of Asphaltenes: Composition, Structure, Properties, Behavior, and Applications
Asphaltenes are the highly aromatic and polar fractions of crude oil defined by their insolubility in n-alkanes and solubility in aromatics. They exhibit complex molecular compositions, broad molecular weight distributions, and a strong tendency to self ...

Removal of Asphaltenes using Ionic Liquid-Effect of Ionic Liquid on Asphaltenes Characteristics
The objective of this project is to study the potential of ionic liquid in removing heavy, high molecular weight multi-ring aromatics, and/or resins, and/or polycyclic hetero atom - containing aromatics which is referred to collectively as asphaltenes ...
