Overview
Novel Catalytic and Separation Process Based on Ionic Liquids presents the latest progress on the use of ionic liquids (ILs) in catalytic and separation processes. The book discusses the preparation of ILs, the characterization of IL catalysts by spectroscopic techniques, catalytic reactions over IL catalysts, separation science and technology of ILs, applications in biomass utilization, and synthesis of fine chemicals.
Scientists, engineers, graduate students, managers, decision-makers, and others interested in ionic liquids will find this information very useful. The book can be used as a springboard for more advanced work in this area as it contains both theory and recent applications, research conducted, and developments in separation techniques and catalysis using ionic liquids.
- Presents new preparation and advanced characterization of ionic liquids catalysts
- Outlines catalytic reactions using ionic liquid, thus showing higher yields and selectivity
- Presents novel separation science and technology based on ionic liquids and non-thermal processes

About the Author
Prof. Suojiang Zhang is Professor&Director General of Institute of Process Engineering (IPE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Member of CAS, Director of Beijing Key Laboratory of Ionic Liquids Clean Process, and Director of Professional Committee of Chinese Chemical Society Ionic Liquids and Green Engineering. His main research interests are ionic liquids and green process engineering, including molecular simulations, properties, preparation, and applications of ionic liquids for catalysis. Several green processes based on ionic liquids have been developed, such as a large-scale preparation process of ionic liquids, an innovative cleaner process of methyl methacrylate, a new process for the synthesis of ethylene glycol via hydrolysis or alcoholysis of ethylene carbonate, a new process for carbon dioxide capture, polyethylene terephthalate degradation, a novel method for production of biogasoline from biomass, and a new electrolyte. To date, Prof. Suojiang Zhang has published more than 550 papers in journals, and 450 papers of those were published in Science Citation Index (SCI) journals. He has edited 4 books and 2 chapters and has filed over 110 patents for inventions.
Dr. Obiefuna Okafor is a Senior Project Leader at Corning Incorporated, where he currently leads development and implementation of new technologies in the Environmental Technologies division. He is a licensed Professional Engineer and Project Management Professional with over 14 years of strong, diversified experience in Research, Development, and Engineering. Prior to his current role, he worked in a Corporate Engineering capacity, delivering project results via lead technical and project management roles in development and engineering projects involving process simulation, design, scale-up and optimization; cost estimation; development of characterization techniques; and engineering upgrades to various divisions including Emerging Innovations Group, Environmental Technologies, and Life Sciences. Dr. Okafor received his Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria, where he graduated with First Class Honors (Summa Cum Laude). He received his Master of Engineering and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, where he specialized in Microreactor Technology applications for the specialty chemicals industry. Prior to joining Corning Incorporated, he worked as a Process/Systems Engineer in the oil and gas industry, as a Risk Manager in the finance industry and as a Faculty member teaching undergraduate chemistry courses. He serves as a local section leader of American Institute of Chemical Engineers, as well as on the board of several non-profit organizations. He has two published patents, three pending patent applications, and a trade secret.
Prof. Weiguo Cheng earned his Ph.D. degree from Dalian University of Technology in 2005, majoring in Industrial Catalysis. He served as a visiting scholar at the University of Waterloo (Canada). He was appointed professor by the Institute of Process Engineering, at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2014. Prof. Weiguo Cheng focuses on revealing the essential relationship between the catalyst structure and the catalytic performance by using surface analytical techniques, particularly in-situ vibrational and optical spectroscopies. He specializes in the design of novel catalytic materials and catalytic process. His current research interests include synthesis of ionic liquid catalysts, mechanisms and kinetics of catalytic reaction, carbon dioxide utilization, and a new catalytic process for the synthesis of ethylene glycol based on ionic liquids.
