How can I get de-aromatized Diesel oil using simple method?

Nicodem - 16-9-2006 at 12:23

You could at least explain what you mean by "simple method"? And for what batch size? And if you mean simpler than how it's done in industry? Simpler than fractionating with a distillation column? I doubt anybody can help you unless you describe more precisely what do you want and what you have access to.
If it is only for a small amount of diesel oil then UTFSE for gasoline nitration. There were at least two threads discussing the subject. If it is for a large batch then I'm afraid the simplest way is the industrial method.

A Buy it.

I ment homemade from raw!!

From homemade raw mint? Too much work. Or did you mean homemade from R.A.W - Robert Anton Wilson? He's not dead yet, so that is a rather cruel thing to do.

A) Buy it. Dearmomatized kerosene is close, unless you're actually running an engine.

B) United States Patents 6835301, 6824673, 6451198, and 6814856 sound like good starting points. Also see

dearomatization of diesel oil

Aromatics in diesel oil can be removed by extraction with an appropriate solvent. One example is liquid SO2 (this is the solvent used in industry, but on a small scale I guess it's not "easy" to use it). Another solvent which is used on a large scale is diethyleneglycol. I guess you could use this one to repeatedly extract aromatics (benzene, toluene and xylenes) out of diesel oil.

IIRC DMSO is also used as an extraction solvent.
