Aggregation in Systems of Ionic Liquids

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Structures and Interactions of Ionic Liquids

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 151))

Abstract

Material preparation in ionic liquids and environmental pollution control by ionic liquids are often closely dependent on the aggregation behavior of ionic liquids in solution. Therefore, understanding the aggregation behavior of ionic liquids in solution is very important from both fundamental and applied aspects. In this chapter, our aim is to provide a summary of our current state of knowledge of the aggregation of ionic liquids in solutions modulated by alkyl chain length, cationic structure, and anionic type of ionic liquids, and by addition of inorganic salts, organic solvents, and surfactants. The possible mechanism for the effect of these factors on the aggregation behavior of ionic liquids has been analyzed, and the potential applications of ionic liquids aggregation in membrane separation of ionic liquids wastewater, controlled drug release, breakage of oil/water emulsions, and selective separation of protein (BSA) from aqueous saccharides has also been illustrated. In addition, the challenges in this field have been addressed and some suggestions are made for future work.
