Cover Story: A batch extraction involving seven deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was performed to determine the suitability of DESs for the purification of FCC model fuel in a millireactor. The selected DESs, composed of tetrabutylammonium bromide and formic acid, proved to be exceptionally successful in extracting unwanted components. All the millireactor experiments demonstrated a slug flow regime, yielding better results compared to batch extraction. The potential of reusing the regenerated DESs was considered. The efficiency of the extraction with the regenerated solvents was lowered by up to 8%, demonstrating the feasibility of carrying out the extraction in a millireactor with solvent recirculation.
