In this paper, the pulping process of wheat straw using ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([Emim]Br) as the digestion liquor is presented. The influence of pulping conditions on the pulp yield are analysed by single-factor and orthogonal experiments, and optimum pulping conditions are obtained. The average pulp yield reaches 44 %, and the average recovery rate of ionic liquid is ...

BMIM PF6 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) and BMIM Tf2N (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) are two conventional room-temperature ionic liquids widely employed and investigated as reaction media. Despite the presence of the same imidazolium ring in their structure they are different in many chemical and physical properties due to the nature of the an...

The structure of ionic liquids (ILs) at the electrochemical IL|Hg interface has been studied using the pendant drop method. From the electrocapillarity (potential dependence of interfacial tension) differential capacitance (Cd) at zero frequency (in other words, static differential capacitance or differential capacitance in equilibrium) has been evaluated. The potential dependence of zero-frequ...

Transient grating spectroscopy was applied to measurements of sound velocity and thermal diffusivity in binary mixture solutions of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIm][PF(6)]) along the saturated line of CO(2) at 40 degrees C up to 20.0 MPa. The sound velocity decreased more than 10% by increasing the pressure to 10 MPa, and the pressure effect was...

The effect of ionic liquid (IL) constituents and other monovalent salts on the stability of polystyrene latex particles was studied by electrophoresis and light scattering in dilute aqueous suspensions. The surface charge and the aggregation rate were both sensitive to the type of ion leading to different critical coagulation concentration (CCC) values. Systematic variation of the type of IL ca...

After overcoming 25% of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), lots efforts are being put into modularization. In order to advance this, development passivation materials that can operate effectively without affecting cell areas is essential. This study introduces 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (DMIMB), which an imidazole-based passivator, working well for...
