The aim is to predict the environmental impacts of imidazolium-based ionic liquids.
Utilized life cycle assessment to evaluate environmental implications
Applied a linear group contribution model for impact predictions
Estimated environmental impacts of ionic liquids were quantified
Identified sustainability challenges associated with imidazolium-based ionic liquids
Abstract
The environmental impacts of imidazolium-based ionic liquids are estimated and predicted by combining life cycle assessment and a linear group contribution model.
