research

Ionic Liquids Further UnCOILed: Critical Expert Overviews
continues the discussion of new processes and developments in ionic
liquid technology introduced in the first volume. Written by an
international group of key academic and industrial chemists, this
next book in the series includes eleven overviews of specific areas
of ionic liquid chemistry including:

• Physicochemical properties of ionic liquids

• A patent survey

• Ionic liquid membrane technology

• Engineering simulations

• Molecular simulations

The goal of this volume is to provide expert overviews that
range from applied to theoretical, synthetic to analytical, and
biotechnological to electrochemical, while also offering consistent
abbreviations of ionic liquids throughout the text.

The value of Ionic Liquids Further UnCOILed: Critical Expert
Overviews lies in the authors' expertise and their
willingness to share it with the reader. Included in the book is
insight into typical problems related to experimental techniques,
selection of liquids, and variability of data--all of which
were overseen by Professor Ken Seddon, one of the book's
editors and a world leader in ionic liquids. This book is a must
read for R&D chemists in industrial, governmental, and academic
laboratories, and for commercial developers of environmentally
sustainable processes. It offers insight and appreciation for the
direction in which the field is going, while also highlighting the
best published works available, making it equally valuable to new
and experienced chemists alike.

DR. NATALIA V. PLECHKOVA attained her BSc
and MSc in chemical engineering at the Russian Mendeleev University
of Chemical Technology, Moscow, and her PhD in chemistry, under the
guidance of Professor Seddon. Since then she has been a research
fellow and project manager in the QUILL (Queen's University
Ionic Liquid Laboratories) Research Centre, focussing on various
aspects of ionic liquids, including their synthesis,
characterisation, and applications.

PROF. KENNETH R. SEDDON is Chair of
Inorganic Chemistry at the Queen's University of Belfast, and
director of the QUILL Research Centre, a world-leading
industrial-academic consortium that was awarded the 2006
Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education
and has just been involved with implementing a full-scale process
for removing mercury from natural gas streams with Petronas
Chemicals, for which an unprecedented three global IChemE awards
were presented in November 2013.
