Symposium Information

Molten salts and ionic liquids form important areas of chemistry which are increasing in importance due to the demands of sustainability.  All processes need to consider their carbon footprints and find ways of minimising interaction with the environment and these ionic phases offer novel ways of achieving this goal.
