Abstract

In the current twenty years, industrial applications of ionic liquids (ILs) have been of paramount attention due to their indisputable positive characteristics like negligible volatility and chemical/thermal stability. These brilliant advantages open new horizons towards environmentally friendly application of ILs in several industrial activities like membrane-based CO₂ separation, electrolyte, bioprocessing, targeted drug delivery and solar panels. The principal intention of this article is to prepare a comprehensive review on the potential efficiency of IL-based absorbents to separate CO₂ acidic contaminant from industrial gaseous streams compared to alkanolamine absorbents as the benchmark. For this purpose, a techno-economic evaluation is presented to compare the cost-effectiveness of ILs compared to alkanolamine absorbents. Finally, major environmental impacts of the ILs applications in industries are discussed and future perspectives towards solving the operational challenges are presented in detail.
