TL;DR: A critical review of the effects of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) on microorganisms and humans can be found in this paper, where the authors provide an overview of the effect of HMF on micro organisms and humans, HMF production and functional group transformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and applications of Rhodamine derivatives as fluorescent probes
TL;DR: In this critical review the strategies for modification of Rhodamine dyes and a discussion on the variety of applications of these new derivatives as fluorescent probes are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of new room temperature ionic liquids.
TL;DR: While the density and solid-liquid phase transition properties are similar for both series, the new RTILs present a considerably lower viscosity and an increased ability to dissolve HgCl(2) and LaCl(3) (up to 16 times higher).
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep desulfurization of diesel fuel using ionic liquids: current status and future challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the current status in application of ionic liquids for achieving ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) is discussed, and the appropriate removal method should be selected according to different systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dioxins sources and current remediation technologies — A review
TL;DR: State-of-the-art remediation technologies available for reducing dioxins formation and emission from the important sources such as, flue gas, fly ash and soil were described in detail.
