Abstract
Background: In recent years, the ultimate goal has been to learn how to select
ionic liquids specifically for materialistic or molecular level applications of these neoteric
materials. Progress has been initiated, but much more is needed to optimize the full potential
of ionic liquids in every aspect of modern-day science.
Methods: A number of engineering parameters need to be determined for the challenging
flourishing of ionic liquids in sustainable commercial applications.
Results & Discussion: In particular, the general absence of specific heat capacity (Cp) data
is a substantial obstacle to the design of chemical reactors and heat transfer systems if any
ionic liquid-based processes are to be developed beyond the laboratory scale. The specific
heat capacities of ionic liquids and their mixtures have significant importance in chemical
engineering work, accompanying the design and operation of reactors and heat-related operations
required for the commercialization of ionic liquids and technologies associated
with them.
Conclusion: In this work, thermal profiles of the surfactant or sponge ionic liquids have
been explored very aptly to measure the specific heat capacity (Cp) of the pyridinium cation-
based surfactant or sponge ionic liquids.
