“…Ionic liquids (ILs) are a category of compounds which are made up entirely of ions and are liquid at or below process temperatures and have low melting points [12]. ILs are proposed as potential solvents for energy efficient gas separation because of their unique properties of broad liquid range, thermal stability, closely zero volatility and almost high CO 2 solubility [13,14]. Recent research [2,15,16] on the application of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as non-volatile solvent promotes them to be used as CO 2 capture solvent.…”
