Ionic Liquids Workshop
Background,
State-of-the-Art, and Academic/Industrial Applications
The University of Alabama,
“A workshop to
provide R&D personnel with state-of-the-art information and a working
knowledge of the chemistry, properties, and applications of ionic liquids, thus
enabling decision making and utilization of these novel solvents”
‘Ionic Liquids’ are now defined as salts that melt near or below 100
°C; these salts are not ‘defined’ as ‘green’.
Ionic liquids define a class
of fluids rather than a small group of individual examples. The vastly
increased volume of publications, in the open and patent literature, indicates
that significant efforts are being made in utilizing ionic liquids in
industrial applications.
Six world-renowned experts in ionic liquid chemistries and applications,
plus several ionic liquid suppliers, will provide an intensive 'what-you-need-to-know' workshop which will include literature surveys, physical/solvent
properties, engineering aspects, IL availability and synthesis, academic and
industrial applications, product demonstrations, and hands-on ionic liquid
experience.
