Plastic waste is currently produced at an alarmingly high rate, nearing 400 Mt per year. The
accumulation of plastics in the environment is growing rapidly, yet our knowledge of their …

In this work, the excess enthalpies and activity coefficients were evaluated as reference
parameters of the solubility of cellulose and lignin in ionic liquids (ILs) using COSMO-RS …

Ionic liquids (ILs), molten salts that are liquid at room temperature, are considered as a
potential green replacement for toxic volatile organic compounds in many applications …

Lignin, the second most abundant biopolymer found in nature, has emerged as a potential
source of sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials. Finding suitable solvents, as well as …

Ionic liquids are molten salts that have excellent chemical and thermal stability. Because
they have qualities inherent to some precepts of green chemistry, they are identified as a …

As the world's population, urbanization, and industrialization grow, so does the production of
greenhouse gases (GHGs). Considering the harmful impact of these gases on the …

To properly screen and use ionic liquids (ILs) as environmental-friendly solvents in chemical
reactors and separation processes, the knowledge of their solubilities with water is essential …

In this work, 357 ionic liquids (ILs) formed from 17 cations and 21 anions were selected for
evaluation of their ability to dissolve cellulose by COSMO-RS. In order to evaluate the …

For the selection of industrially suitable ionic liquids (ILs) as extraction solvents, a systematic
method combining phase equilibrium calculation, physical property prediction, and process …

The quantum chemical COSMO-RS (Conductor like Screening Model for Real Solvents)
methodology was applied to evaluate the ability ionic liquids as alternative solvents for …
