“…Although the negligible volatility of ILs is one appealing point in the use of ILs in place of volatile organic solvents, the finite solubility of ILs in water has raised concern in wastewater treatments and other circumstances. [169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187] Since ILs are salts having certain solubility in water, the interface between an IL and water is inevitably electrified. There are a number of systems in which the phase-boundary potential across the IL|W interface plays a crucial role in determining the physicochemical characteristics of the systems.…”

“…With reference to this problem, along with scientific reports on the synthesis, physical and chemical properties and the potential for practical utilization of ionic liquids, a large number of studies have come up, which are concerned with the examination of the potential toxicity of these substances. Studies described in available literature reveal varied influences of ionic liquids on microorganisms [1,2,[17][18][19][20][21][22], plankton [21,[23][24][25][26], invertebrates [27][28][29], vertebrates [27,30], algae [2,21,23,29,[31][32][33], fungi [19,34,35] or higher land plants [8,21,31,[36][37][38][39]. The quoted literature shows that a likely toxic influence of a ionic liquid is determined by a number of factors, of which the primary role is played the cation type and the length of the substituent in the cation (as a rule, the longer alkyl chain, the higher toxicity).…”

“…Over the past two decades, Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted considerable attention as friendly environmental substitutes for volatile organic solvents due to the several unique properties such as negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability, easy recyclability, no flammability, and high ionic conductivity [1][2][3][4]. Generally, ILs are a group of low-melting-point salts containing organic cation, such as imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, or pyridazinium, paired with various anions, such as bromide or tetrafluoroborate [5].…”
