Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science : Ionic Liquids As Green Solvents

Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Ionic Liquids as Green Solvents discusses the application of ionic liquids as environment-friendly solvents in the extraction, separation and purification of organic and inorganic compounds, as reaction media in biochemical and chemical reactions and catalysis, and in green organic and drug syntheses. It covers various industrial applications, from polymer synthesis, to biodiesel and lubrication, paint and pigments, water softening and dry-cleaning, ore refining, the nuclear industry, aerogels, fuel cells, and more. Specific sections cover hydrogenation, oxidation, hydroformylation, acylation, acetylation, dimerization, oligomerization, photochemical and cleavage of ethers reactions.

The book's main emphasis lies in the extraction and separation of biomolecules, vitamins, proteins, enzymes, and DNA using ionic liquids as green solvents. High-performance thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography are also discussed.

• Presents ionic liquids as an alternative to conventional solvents
• Covers organic and drug synthesis using ionic liquids as a solvent
• Outlines industrial product development using ionic liquid as a solvent
• Includes methods for separation, purification and extraction of biomolecules
• Outlines the use of ionic liquids in water, energy and environmental applications
