Hi Surya, i am a Bachelor student in the Aalborg university of Denmark. Me and my group mates are trying to implement biodegradable ionic liquids into our research projbect about the improvement of one of the pesticides. However, we have information limit about the possible BIL candidates that can be used, since some of them are toxic. Could it be possible for you to name some of the names you know that are biodegradable (>60% degradation) and less toxic ?
I would like to read your research as well if it is possible
Thanks for all your help in advance and hope to hear from you soon
Kind regards
Baris Kara
Dear Barış Kara
I hope these publications might help you.
1) "Readily biodegradable and low-toxic biocompatible ionic liquids for cellulose processing".
2) "Design and synthesis of low toxicity biodegradable ionic liquids and their applications in materials science".
3) "Evaluation of Toxicity and Biodegradability of Cholinium Amino Acids Ionic Liquids".
4) " Zhao, D. , Liao, Y. and Zhang, Z. (2007), Toxicity of Ionic Liquids. Clean Soil Air Water, 35: 42-48. doi:10.1002/clen.200600015".
Mostly third generation ionic liquids comes under biodegradability category. Actually its designed on the basis of their action on target sites with less toxicity. You can see many papers (One of my paper is also....http://www.sciencedomain.org/abstract/21272 )on third generation ionic liquids for the better understanding of biodegradability factor.
