Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of low melting point, ionic compounds which have a variety of properties allowing many of them to be sustainable green solvents. These non-molecular solvents possess high thermal stabilities and negligible vapour pressures making them attractive alternatives to environmentally unfriendly solvents that produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this book, the authors present research on the properties, applications and hazards of ionic liquids. Some of the topics discussed include challenges and perspectives of ionic liquids vs. traditional solvents for cellulose processing; ionic liquids as sustainable extractants in petrochemical processing; bronsted acid-base ionic liquids and membranes as ion conducting materials; and, physical and chemical properties of ionic liquids.

Because of their unique properties and fascinating features, ionic liquids have numerous potential applications in engineering, analytics, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, tribology, and biology. This book discusses the thermophysical properties and other features of these emerging liquids. It also presents different methods of their production, as well as examines their potential use as new lubricants or lubricant additives and in gas chromatography. In addition, the book provides an archeological, historical, and technological background of alkali and alkali–earth salts and hydroxides. The book is a useful resource for students, researchers, engineers, manufacturers, academicians, and professionals working in the field of ionic liquids for real-world applications.
