10th Molecules Webinar

Advances in Separation Processes Achieved by Ionic Liquids

Due to their relevance in modern life and application in several industries, separation processes are introduced at the graduation level of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Biotechnology courses. With the goal of developing more cost-efficient processes, ionic liquids (ILs) have been applied in different fields in which large-scale separation is mandatory, namely in the separation of gases, metals from e-waste, products extracted from biomass, pharmaceuticals, and in the desulfurization of fuels. On the other hand, they have also been investigated for analytical chemistry purposes, mainly for sample preparation. In the past decades, relevant advances in separation processes have been achieved by the use of ionic liquids. At this point, the following question arises: are the developed advances on their way to reach the market and be applied in real life?
This webinar will join outstanding scientists working in the field of ionic liquids applied in separation processes, covering different areas of application, which will present their scientific accomplishments and provide a critical view on what is missing to apply ionic liquids at the industrial level in their field of expertise.
