Abstract

Insoluble organic solid residues in crude oil can cause staining, lathering, corrosion and contamination of the end product. Hence, removing these insoluble solids from the process stream is pertinent. In this research, samples of insoluble organic solid residues were taken from a single phase bottom hole crude oil, Qua Iboe Light Mobile Nigeria, unlimited. 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMIm][PF6] was synthesized, and its effect on the precipitation of insoluble organic solid residues from methanol, ethanol and iso-armyl alcohol was investigated. Results of weight % of insoluble organic solids retrieved from methanol, ethanol and iso-armyl alcohol were 80.1 ± 0.2%, 74 ± 0.3%, 73.3 ± 0.2%, respectively. Comparatively, weights % of insoluble organic solids precipitated with methanol was higher (0.8010 g, 80.1%) than ethanol (0.7400 g, 74%) and iso-armyl alcohol (0.7330 g, 73.3%). This result corroborates the fact that insoluble organic solids are better precipitated from more polar organic solvents. Weights % of insoluble organic solids precipitated from methanol + [BMImPF6], ethanol + [BMImPF6] and iso-armyl alcohol + [BMImPF6] were 80.4 ± 0.1%, 76 ± 0.2% and 75 ± 0.2% respectively. This result implies that organic solvent + [BMImPF6] combinations yielded greater organic insoluble solid precipitates than those obtained with molecular organic solvents.
