Product Information

• Name: 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is an ionic liquid that is made up of a cation, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, and an anion, chloride. It has been shown to be biocompatible with human serum and water vapor. The interaction between the cation and anion creates a solvation shell around the solvent molecules in the ionic liquid. This solvation shell leads to hydrogen bonding interactions with cellulose, which prevents crystalline cellulose from forming. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride has been shown to be effective in wastewater treatment because it removes copper ions from the solution by electrochemical reactions.
