Ionic Liquid in Process Intensification

Ionic Liquids in Process Intensification focuses on ionic liquids to carry out process intensification research. The book uses computational simulation methods of ionic liquids, as well as the structural design, prediction and structure regulation to describe the process of ionic liquids intensify reaction, separation, photochemistry and materials synthesis related to chemical processes. It analyzes and discusses the latest research results and typical application cases and provides new research ideas and methods for the correlation of different scales from molecular to chemical engineering.Users will find a comprehensive resource that combines computational chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, and many other basic and applied disciplines.
- Treats the structure of ionic liquids as the core to carry out process intensification research- Embraces a multidisciplinary approach to IL research- Written by leading scientist in the field

Prof. Suojiang Zhang is Professor & Director General of Institute of Process Engineering (IPE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Member of CAS, Director of Beijing Key Laboratory of Ionic Liquids Clean Process, and Director of Professional Committee of Chinese Chemical Society Ionic Liquids and Green Engineering. His main research interests are ionic liquids and green process engineering, including molecular simulations, properties, preparation, and applications of ionic liquids for catalysis. Several green processes based on ionic liquids have been developed, such as a large-scale preparation process of ionic liquids, an innovative cleaner process of methyl methacrylate, a new process for the synthesis of ethylene glycol via hydrolysis or alcoholysis of ethylene carbonate, a new process for carbon dioxide capture, polyethylene terephthalate degradation, a novel method for production of biogasoline from biomass, and a new electrolyte. To date, Prof. Suojiang Zhang has published more than 550 papers in journals, and 450 papers of those were published in Science Citation Index (SCI) journals. He has edited 4 books and 2 chapters and has filed over 110 patents for inventions.
