Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

In this chapter, we will discuss some other applications that are of great importance in the oil industry and in which ILs have played an important role; however, the IMP has not yet ventured into these topics, at least not with the use of ILs. The topics discussed in this chapter are the separation of light hydrocarbons, separation and extraction of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, extraction of bitumen from oil sand, and application of ILs in shale stabilization processes.
