Ionic liquids (ILs) have recently emerged as an extremely promising medium for the
extraction of metals from aqueous phases. ILs are salts that are liquid at room temperature …

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are novel solvents composed entirely of ions. They
can dissolve a wide range of compounds, while some possess virtually no vapor pressure …

This book deals with ionic liquids, ie, with single substances in their liquid state of
aggregation that are dissociated into ions to a major extent. Because of the enormous …

One of the main drawbacks comprising an appropriate selection of ionic liquids (ILs) for a
target application is related to the lack of an extended and well-established polarity scale for …

Extractive desulfurization of liquid fuel is a simple process that requires minimum energy
input and can be operated via existing liquid–liquid extraction apparatuses. In particular, to …

Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials which are finding application in a variety of
technologically important areas. Because of their hydrophilic character, at least a small …

Correlations of Reichardt's ET (30), the Catalán SdP (solvent dipolarity), SP (solvent
polarizability), SA (solvent acidity), SB (solvent basicity), Kamlet‐Taft π*(dipolarity …

The Kamlet–Taft dipolarity/polarizability parameters π* for various ionic liquids were
determined using 4-tert-butyl-2-((dicyanomethylene)-5-[4-N, N-diethylamino)-benzylidene] …

Recently, chemical fixation of CO 2 catalyzed by protic ionic liquids (PILs) has been
successfully achieved, suggesting that CO 2 absorption behavior plays an important role on …

Supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) constitute a radical advance in olefin/paraffin
separation membranes. Unfortunately, the applications of SILMs are vastly hindered by low …
