After reviewing the properties and structure of ionic liquids, leading specialists explore the role of these materials in optical, electrochemical, and biochemical sensor technology. The book then examines ionic liquids in gas, liquid, and countercurrent chromatography, along with their use as electrolyte additives in capillary electrophoresis. It also discusses gas solubilities and measurement techniques, liquid-liquid extraction, and the separation of metal ions. The final chapters cover molecular, Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopies.

Finally, SECM offers a new application area for miniaturized electrochemical and biochemical sensors. They can be used in connection with a positioning system to solve, for instance, problems of cell biology, material science, and interfacial geochemistry. Since SECM instruments are now available from different commercial sources, a much broader application in the electrochemical sensor community is expected within the next years.

The fluidized bed systems have been utilized extensively in many physical, chemical, petrochemical, electrochemical, and biochemical processes. Successful applications of the fluidization systems lie in a comprehensive understanding of hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer properties, and mixing. Various non-intrusive measurement techniques, such as electric capacitance tomography and radioactive particle tracking technique, are available to advance the fundamental understanding of the microscopic and macroscopic phenomena of fluidization. Till date, the... 

A distinctive characteristic of physicochemical hydrodynamics is the commonality of behaviors underlying many seemingly diverse phenomena. The commonality is brought about by two factors (1) the similar character of the continuum, linear constitutive transport relations for mass, heat, and charge (2) the similarity or, frequently, the identity of boundary conditions for chemical, electrochemical, and biochemical reactions mass, charge, and heat transfer and phase change. Throughout the book we shall attempt to exploit the behavioral similarities of these different physical and chemical phenomena. 

Oxidation and reduction are fundamental processes in the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds. Some oxidation and reduction reactions are difficult to control in macro-scale batch reactors and in such cases microflow reactors serve as powerful tools for accomplishing the reactions in a highly controlled manner. This is especially true for many oxidation reactions because of their exothermic nature. It should also be noted that the danger of unexpected explosions can be avoided by the use of microflow reactors because of the small volume and highly efficient heat transfer ability of microflow systems. This chapter provides an overview of oxidation and reduction reactions using chemical, electrochemical and biochemical methods in microflow reactors. 

Oxidation and reduction using chemical, electrochemical and biochemical methods are attained by virtue of characteristic features of microflow systems. Microflow...

Bioelectrocatalysis is a unique combination of electrochemical and biochemical reactions, which rests not only on the ability to control at will the oxidizing and reducing ability of the electrode by changing its Fermi level, but on the specificity and selectivity of biochemical catalysis. Endeavors have been made to develop bioelectrocatalysis with enzymes that catalyze redox reactions.
