Crystallisation Study of Ionic Liquids

Ionic liquids have attracted much attention at late due to their unique properties as
functional liquids in a wide variety application such as electrochemical material and
chemical reaction media. Ionic liquid is an ionic salt that melts below 100°C and has
characteristics of non volatile environmental friendly solvents as compared to traditional
organic solvents. Therefore, this project will present the study on crystallization of ionic
liquid as it is important as one of possible methods to recycle and regenerate ionic
liquids. The objective of this project is to study the kinetic of ionic liquids by
crystallizations. Avrami analysis was utilized to study the crystallization kinetics of
ionic liquid. Different parameters that influence the crystallization of ionic liquid will be
explored such as effects of initial temperature, effect of crystallization temperature and
effects on ratio of water content.
