Photodegradation of an ammonium ionic liquid: spiking in urban wastewater and comparison with aromatic ionic liquids

Abstract

Ammonium ionic liquids are being extensively used in several applications and hence, their effluent treatment is a significant cause of concern. Various Ag-doped SnO2 nanoparticles (2, 3 and 5% Ag-SnO2)...

Thermal, chemical, electrochemical, radiolytic and biological stability of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents

“…For example, the photocatalytic efficiency of ammonium-based ILs increased continuously when the concentration of 5% Ag–SnO 2 increased from 0.4 and 0.6 to 0.8 g L −1 . 143 Similarly, increasing the Ag concentration in the Ag–SnO 2 composite from 0%, 2%, and 3% to 5% led to a higher degradation efficiency of ammonium ILs (Fig. 29).…”

“…29). 143 We believe that the above-mentioned two tendencies are not contradictory. The possible reason may be due to the selection of a narrow photocatalyst concentration for the investigation of a continuously increasing tendency.…”
