Upgrading of Wash Oil through Reduction of Nitrogen-Containing Compounds

As part of improving the quality of wash oil, the reduction of three kinds of nitrogen-containing compounds (NCs), including quinoline (QU), iso-quinoline (IQU), and indole (IN), found in wash oil was examined by liquid–liquid equilibrium extraction. The wash oil and an aqueous solution of formamide...
