Current Trends in Green Solvents: Biocompatible Ionic Liquids

Ionic liquids. Green solvents for the future*

Ionic liquids, being composed entirely of ions, were once mainly of interest to electrochemists. Recently, however, it has become apparent that, inter alia, their lack of measurable vapor pressure characterizes them as green solvents, and that a wide range of chemical reactions (reviewed here) can be performed in them.

Ionic Liquids: Solvents for sustainable chemistry

Ionic Liquids in Green Carbonate Synthesis

Ionic liquids (ILs), made of relatively large organic cations and inorganic anions, could contribute as solvents and catalysts to green organic synthetic reactions [1-5]. The reaction systems using no organic solvents, dense phase carbon dioxide (supercritical and carbon dioxide-dissolved expanded liquid phases), and/or water are obviously advantageous from environmental viewpoints [1]. ILs wou...

Ionic Liquids (A Review): The Green Solvents for Petroleum and Hydrocarbon Industries

Ionic liquids can be considered as green solvents due to their very low vapor pressure and wide range of applications with unique physical and chemical properties. The potential of ionic liquids have been recognized worldwide. Scientists and engineers have been working in the advancement of preparation and applications of ionic liquid so that it can provide a range of options to industrialists ...

Distribution of N-Methylimidazole in Ionic Liquids/Organic Solvents Systems

The partition coefficients, Kmim, of N-methylimidazole (mim) in two-component systems composed of ionic liquid (IL) and a series of organic solvents immiscible with ILs (butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, tert-butyl methyl ether, diethyl ether and cyclohexane) were determined by a shake-flask method. The influence of different factors such as temperature, solvent polarity, mim concentration, and wat...
