Abstract: Ionic liquids were found to be highly selective for the extractive removal of aromatic sulfur compounds from fuels at room temperature. The efficiency of ionic liquids for the removal of aromatic sulfur compounds is dependent on the properties and structure of the ionic liquids. In this work, the Lewis-acidic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrahalogenoferrate(III) ([BMIM] [FeCl]) was synthesized and demonstrated to be more effective for the removal of aromatic sulfur compounds from diesel over ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF4]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM] [BF46]) because of its Lewis-acidic property. The ionic liquids favorably extracted organic compounds with a higher density of aromatic p-electrons. [BMIM][FeCl] ionic liquid can be regenerated through reextraction by hexane, and could be used in multiple steps for the removal of sulfur compounds from diesel.
Training is one of the casualties of the current economic climate. As one who specializes in training people to maximize their online search effectiveness, I was interested by a recent comment in a LinkedIn group I belong to.

Many top executives believe that Training of their employees is only a valueless investment until a disaster takes place. Failure to control disasters is the outcome of ignorance and poor knowledge in understading their own system. Recent episodes in the oil & gas industry proves this.Yet top executives don't seem to have learnt any lesson from these disasters

In the spirit of the above discussion, here are two tips to help you get the most out of EbscoHost’s Academic Search Complete.
EbscoHost: Two Tips
(1) Visual search
(2) Full text only search box
EbscoHost’s Visual search feature enhances its advanced search feature by providing hyperlinked subtopics that enable you quickly to sharpen the focus of your search. It can be a great time saver compared to the traditional approach.
Another time saver … check the box that limits your results to “full text only.” You will save time by avoiding all those abstracts that require a second effort to acquire the full text from some other source. Of course, in some cases you may need all those abstracts. But if you are simply doing background research, or if you are writing a term paper, “full text only” may be the way to go.
