INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF IONIC LIQUIDS AS “GREEN” ENGINEERING LIQUIDS
Abstract
Over the past decade, ionic liquids (ILs) have become one of the fastest growing “green” media for chemists and engineers due to their superb physicochemical properties. The applications of these remarkable salts in reactions and extraction processes have been extensively investigated and reviewed. This review, however, highlights recent advances of ILs as versatile “green” engineering liquids in a variety of industrial applications including heat transfer fluids, azeotrope-breaking liquids, lubricants, electrolytes, liquid crystals, supported IL membranes, plasticizers, and more. This review is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to discuss the potentials of ILs for diverse industrial applications.

Increased sulfur content of lignin after treatment with ionic liquids with sulfur containing anions such as sulfonates, sulfamates and sulfates has been reported.
“In support of this, an increased sulfur content of the lignin after treatment with ionic liquids with sulfur containing anions such as sulfonates and sulfamates (e.g.[ABS] -and acesulfamate) 52,53 and sulfates ([MeSO 4 ] -and [HSO 4 ] -) 55 has been reported.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
