Experimental study on heat and mass transfer characteristics between a novel ionic liquid and air under low-humidity conditions

On the Moisture Absorption Capability of Ionic Liquids

“…To the best of our knowledge, the first reports on the use of ILs as a desiccant source for LDACs were published by Luo et al, who demonstrated the feasibility of the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C 2 mim]­[BF 4 ]) as a desiccant. , Subsequently, numerous reports − and reviews , on this topic were published. The most extensively investigated were the imidazolium ILs. , Choline ILs were also studied; it was demonstrated that choline (2-hydroxy- N,N,N- trimethylethan-1-aminium) alkylcarboxylates ([Ch]­[RCO 2 ]) can act as efficient desiccants .…”
