Elevated sulfate concentrations in industrial effluent can lead to a number of significant problems, the most serious of which is the corrosion of concrete sewers as a result of hydrogen sulfide induced biogenic sulfuric acid attack; hydrogen sulfide can also create odor nuisance problems. The most common treatment process for sulfate removal from wastewaters is to precipitate it as gypsum usin...

The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution by some ionic liquids (ILs) namely, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate [HMIM][TfO], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [HMIM][BF4], 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [HMIM][PF6], and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide [HMIM][I] was investigated using electrochemical measurements, spectroscopic...

We report the fabrication of Resistor-Capacitor (RC) filters and field effect transistors (FETs) based on pencil drawings on paper, which contain turbostratic graphite crystallites as evidenced from Raman analysis. Pencil drawings have been employed as resistor and an ion gel, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octyl sulfate mixed with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as dielectric, for the fabrication of ...

Ionic Liquids are low melting salts (up to 100° C) and represent a new class of solvents with unusual physico-chemical properties. In the present work ionic liquids have been used as reaction media for the synthesis of phenylacetylphenylglycine and of phenylacetylphenylalanine. 3 ionic liquids: 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexa fluorophosphate and 1...

The volume change and sorption of CO2 of ionic liquids(ILs) were measured in a high pressure view cell under supercritical fluid condition. Imidazolium-based ILs such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]), 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]), and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([omim][BF ]) were employed in this research. The ef...

High-pressure infrared measurements were carried out to observe the microscopic structures of two imidazolium-based ionic liquids, i.e., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [EMI(+)(CF(3)SO(2))(2)N(-), EMI(+)TFSA(-)] and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide [EMI(+)(FSO(2))(2)N(-), EMI(+)FSA(-)]. The results obtained at ambient pressure indicate that the ...

In the title compound, {(C(4)H(16)N(3))[La(SO(4))(3)(H(2)O)]}(n), the La atom adopts an irregular LaO(9) coordination geometry, including one bonded water mol-ecule. The three sulfate groups adopt both monodentate and bidentate coordination to the metal ions. Two of the sulfate groups serve as bridges in the (100) and (010) directions, yielding infinite sheets, whereas the third is pendant to o...

A series of 2-amino pyridine-3-carbinitrile derivatives incorporated coumarin moiety has developed via multicomponent condensation of 3-acetyl-2H-chromen-2-one, arylaldehydes, malononitrile and ammonium acetate utilizing Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, (4-sulfobutyl)tris(4-sulfophenyl)phosphonium hydrogen sulfate as catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Good yields, short reaction times, straig...

The first example of an iodocyclisation reaction made recyclable by the use of an ionic liquid as the reaction medium is reported. Readily available 1-mercapto-3-alkyn-2-ols were smoothly converted into the corresponding 3-iodothiophenes (50-81% yields, 10 examples) when allowed to react with iodine (1-2 equiv.) in a proper ionic liquid, such as 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate (EmimEt...
