Abstract:Ionic liquids have attracted considerable interest as excellent alternatives to organic solvents to be used in homogeneous and biphasic processes. Ionic liquids are non-volatile, non-flammable and their "green" character has usually been justified with their negligible vapour pressure. However, the marketing of any chemical substance requires the determination of their impact on all elements of nature. Determination of the potential ecotoxicity of new chemical compounds is associated with conducting research o… Show more
