In this work, the ethanol fuel dehydration process was optimized using Aspen Plus? simulator and a multivariate statistical technique based on desirability function. The suitability of ionic liquids 1-methylimidazolium chloride ([Mim][Cl]), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Emim][Cl]), 1-butyl- -3-methylimidazolium ([Bmim][Cl]) 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Hmim][Cl]), as extractive distillation en...

Alkoxycarbonylation of ethylene with carbon monoxide and cellulose in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate affords cellulose propionate with a degree of substitution of 1-2.

The strontium ion, in water-soluble forms, is one of the major pollutant in drinking water. Therefore, a simple, rapid, selective, and sensitive potentiometric carbon paste electrode was developed to measure strontium ion in real samples with complex matrices. To prepare the potentiometric sensor, a synthetic ligand ((E)-4-(((2-amino-4-chlorophenyl)imino)methyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyl pyrid...

The enthalpies of vaporisation, Δ(vap)H(298), of seven ionic liquids (ILs) (four imidazoliums, a pyridinium, a phosphonium and an isouronium) have been determined by temperature programmed desorption using line of sight mass spectrometry. They were: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(pentafluoroethyl)phosphinate, [C(2)C(1)Im][PO(2)(C(2)F(5))(2)]; 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octylsulfate, [C(4)C(1)...

Stable silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by chemical reduction of silver nitrate in ionic liquids 1Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Emim] BF4 and 1Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Emim] PF6 at room temperature. The characterization of the silver nanoparticles such as their size and shape was performed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Mi...

benzazolo [2,1-b]quinazolinones and triazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones were synthesized in high yields by the condensation reaction of an aldehyde and a cyclic  β-diketone with 2 - aminobenzimidazole, 2 - aminobenzothiazole or 1, 2, 4 - triazole derivatives in 1 - butyl - 3 -methylimidazolium bromide as an ionic liquid under classic heating conditions within 5-60 minutes.

A new type of solid state solar cell is produced by using Fe2O3 (working electrode) and SiC as a hole collector (counter electrode). Two molten salts, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMICl) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (BMII) were used as crystal growth inhibitors with a SiC film. It was found that BMI1 shows about 10 times higher efficiency compared to an EMICl-based SiC film s...
