“…Ionic liquids have been described as novel environmentally benign solvents because of their remarkable characteristics, such as non-volatility, high thermal stability, non-flammability and high polarity (Anthony et al, 2001;Fadeev et al, 2001). Numerous applications of these solvents continue to grow at an exponential rate; the most common applications found in the literature are in gas and liquid separation processes Anthony et al, 2001;Fadeev et al, 2001;Visser et al, 2000); as solvents in various reactions systems, such as hydrogenation, hydroformylations, isomerizations, dimerizations, alkylations, among others (Welton, 1999;Hermann et al, 1999;Seddon, 1995;; in electrolytes/fuel cells (Souza et al, 2003); as CO 2 selective separation media (Anthony et al, 2002;Zhang et al, 2006); in the capture or sequestration of…”
