Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and comparison of hydrophilic and hydrophobic room temperature ionic liquids incorporating the imidazolium cation

TL;DR: A series of hydrophilic and hydrophobic 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been prepared and characterized to determine how water content, density, viscosity, surface tension, melting point, and thermal stability are affected by changes in alkyl chain length and anion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Room temperature ionic liquids as novel media for ‘clean’ liquid–liquid extraction

TL;DR: The partitioning of simple substituted-benzene derivatives between water and the room temperature ionic liquid, butylmethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, is based on the solutes' charged state or relative hydrophobicity as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlling the aqueous miscibility of ionic liquids: aqueous biphasic systems of water-miscible ionic liquids and water-structuring salts for recycle, metathesis, and separations.

TL;DR: Hydrophilic ionic liquids can be salted-out and concentrated from aqueous solution upon addition of kosmotropic salts forming aqueously biphasic systems as illustrated by the phase behavior of mixtures of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride and K3PO4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneous catalytic CO2 conversion to value-added hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this article, the role of both the promoter and support play on the catalysts' activity is reviewed, and the role that both the promoters and support plays on the catalyst's activity is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some Novel Liquid Partitioning Systems: Water−Ionic Liquids and Aqueous Biphasic Systems

TL;DR: Partition coefficients, as values of log P, between two room-temperature ionic liquids and between water and an aqueous biphasic system have been correlated with Abraham's solute descriptors to yield linear free energy relationships.
