We may currently observe an important trend in the search for environmentally friendly
renewable resources. Biomass is undoubtedly a source of such material. An especially …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as a new class of materials, displaying a unique capability
to self-assemble into micelles, liposomes, liquid crystals, and microemulsions. Despite …

Quality and safety of the cold chain undergo strict international regulations that identify
storage and shipping temperatures. In fact, the improper handling and transportation of …

Melting point (T m) is one of the defining characteristics of ionic liquids (ILs) and is often one
of the most important factors in their selection for applications in separation processes …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are predominantly obtained by the traditional sulfuric acid
hydrolysis process. However, as-prepared CNCs powder features low thermal stability and …

Abstract Nanoparticle Enhanced Ionic Liquids (NEILs) are the new heat transfer fluids for
direct absorption solar collectors and are comprised of small vol/wt percentage of …

The separation of aromatics from aliphatics is challenging and energy-consuming because
of the very close boiling points among these compounds and the possibility of forming …

Due to the improved thermophysical characteristics of ionic liquids (ILs), such as their strong
ionic conductivity, negligible vapor pressure, and thermal stability at high temperatures, they …

Due to the high cost of ionic liquids (ILs), how to economically recycle them from aqueous
solutions is one of the critical issues for their large-scale applications. In this work, vacuum …

In recent years, solar thermal energy (STE) has attracted energy researchers because of its
higher efficacy compared to the photovoltaic solar cell. STE is one of the forms of solar …
