In recent years, the designer nature of ionic liquids (ILs) has driven their exploration and
exploitation in countless fields among the physical and chemical sciences. A fair measure of …

There are still debates on whether the hydration of ions perturbs the water structure, and
what is the degree of such disturbance; therefore, the origin of the Hofmeister effect on …

The tremendous potential of room temperature ionic liquids as an alternative to
environmentally harmful ordinary organic solvents is well recognized. Ionic liquids, having …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have evolved as a new type of non‐aqueous solvents for biocatalysis,
mainly due to their unique and tunable physical properties. A number of recent review …

As environmentally benign “green” solvents, room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) have been
used as solvents or (co) solvents in biocatalytic reactions and processes for a decade. The …

Enzyme activity in nonaqueous media (eg conventional organic solvents) is typically lower
than in water by several orders of magnitude. There is a rising interest of developing new …

The screening and use of benign chemicals for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications is
important because of their properties and relationship to the embedded fluids. We …

In this study, mesoporous silica SBA-15 was modified by organic functional groups through
silanization. Series of organosilane compounds were grafted onto the SBA-15, and the …

In this study, Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was immobilized on SBA-15 with three
pore diameters. CALB loading was found increased with CALB concentration increasing …

Food and Industrial Bioproducts and Bioprocessing describes the engineering aspects of
bioprocessing, including advanced food processing techniques and bioproduct …
