In this study, simple ionic liquid-assisted preparation of SnO microflowers with nanosheet subunitsunder reflux condition without calcination were described. Samples were synthesized using 1-pentyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [pmim]Br, as an ionic liquid in different molar ratio, sodium hydroxideand Tin(II) chloride. The results show that SnO with high purity and uniform size...

Alkylation of isobutane and 2-butene was carried out in a continuous unit using triethylamine hydrochloride (Et3NHCl)-aluminum chloride (AlCl3) ionic liquid (IL) as catalyst. The effects of impurities such as water, methanol, and diethyl ether on the stability of the catalytic properties and deactivation of the ionic liquid were studied in the continuous alkylation. In the Et3NHCl-2AlCl3 ionic ...

The aqueous gelation of a quaternary ammonium oligo(propylene oxide)-based ionic liquid yields ion gels with a reverse thermoresponsive behavior (i.e., mechanical moduli and viscosity increase with temperature) and enhanced ionic conductivities.

A systematic study of the physico-chemical properties of a series of new catanionic surfactants with ionic liquid properties is reported. Importantly, by avoiding environmentally unfriendly halide and imidazolium based moieties highly tunable surfactant ionic liquids have been prepared.

The separation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons is challenging, due to overlapping boiling points and formation of several azeotropes. Conventional solvents for those separations are polar substances, e.g. sulfolane. Recently it could be shown that ionic liquids can perform considerably better than common extraction solvents. Hence, ionic liquids can be a promising alternative [1]. Ionic ...

The extraction behavior of several divalent metal cations (M(2+)) in ionic liquid chelate extraction systems was investigated using several 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ionic liquids ([Rmim][Tf(2)N]) as extraction solvent and thenoyltrifluoroacetone (Htta) as extractant. The behavior was compared with that using less hydrophobic 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexa...
