The current trend of chemical industries demands green processing, in particular with employing natural substances such as sugar-derived compounds. This matter has encouraged academic and industrial sections to seek new alternatives for extracting these materials. Ionic liquids (ILs) are currently paving the way for efficient extraction processes.

Implementing suitable solutions for wax-related problems requires vast technical knowledge and investigation of the wax disappearance temperature (WDT) of multicomponent systems in petroleum-dominated systems. In this study, the WDTs of a quaternary system comprising different mixtures of -undecane + -tetradecane + -hexadecane + -octadecane were measured using a visual-based diagnosis apparatus under atmospheric pressure.
