Preparation and Applications of Ionic Liquids

Ionic liquids are a new type of green solvents with many unique physical and chemical characteristics, and it has become the frontier of international research in recent years. Ionic liquids provide new opportunities for developing clean technology. This paper introduces the synthesis and preparation methods of ionic liquids, and discusses the applications of ionic liquids in CO, capture, conversion and utilization, electrolytic/electroplating aluminium, SO(2) absorption, wastewater treatment, waste plastics degradation and recycling. Furthermore, the future development trends of ionic liquids are also discussed.
