Over the past decades, ionic liquids gained much more attention of the researcher across
the globe owing to their unique characteristics and a vast spectrum of application …

The impetus for the expanding interest in ionic liquids (ILs) is their favorable properties and
important applications. Ionic liquid-based surfactants (ILBSs) carry long-chain hydrophobic …

The formation of stable emulsions is a fundamental problem in oil industry that can result in
a sequence of environmental and operational problems. Chemical demulsification is …

Two series of long chain imidazolium-and pyridinium-based ionic liquids containing an ester
functional group in the alkyl side chain, 3-methyl-1-alkyloxycarbonylmethylimidazolium …

In recent years, ionic liquids have received increasing interests as an effective demulsifier
due to their characteristics of non-flammability, thermal stability, recyclability, and low vapor …

Surface active amide-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) consisting of a long alkyl chain (C 6
single bondC 14) connected to a polar head group (methylimidazolium or pyridinium cation) …

The demand for lowering interfacial tension (IFT) in different processes has persuaded
researchers to use stable and resistant surfactants with low environmental impact. For this …

Four kinds of ionic liquids (ILs) with different counterions were used as collectors to perform
flotation tests for pure quartz and quartz-hematite mixed ore. Pure quartz flotation showed …

Since it is possible to improve the surface activity of surfactants and mixing them to reduce
their critical micelle concentration (CMC), this study is aimed to evaluate the binary mixture …

The effects of temperature and concentration of CTAB added into imidazolium-based ionic
liquids (CnmimBr, n= 10, 12, 16) solution were investigated, and surface active parameters …
