Remarks and Outlook

Furthermore, as clearly demonstrated by the three-way catalytic system for gasoline vehicles and DPNR explained in this chapter, the automobile exhaust gas treatment catalysts do not function alone, but rather require a highly controlled engine system. It is therefore necessary to further develop technologies to functionally integrate engine and after-treatment devices in which the soot oxidation catalyst is a component.

Compared to classical processes involving thermal separation, biphasic techniques offer simplified process schemes and no thermal stress for the organometaUic catalyst. The concept requires that the catalyst and the product phases separate rapidly, to achieve a practical approach to the recovery and recycling of the catalyst. Owing to their tuneable solubility characteristics, ionic liquids prove to be good candidates for multiphasic techniques. They extend the applications of aqueous-biphasic systems to a broader range of organic hydrophobic substrates and water-sensitive catalysts (see Section 5.3 and Ref [50]). 

To be applied industrially, performance must be superior to that of the existing catalytic systems (activity, regioselectivity and recyclability). The use ofionic liquid biphasic technology for nickel-catalyzed olefin dimerization proved to be successful and this system has been developed and is now proposed for commercialization. However, much effort remains if the concept is to be extended to non-chloroaluminate ionic liquids. In particular, the true potential ofionic liquids (and mixtures containing ionic liquids) could be achievable if an even more substantial body of thermophysical and thermodynamic properties were amassed in order that the best medium for a given reaction could be chosen. As far as industrial applications are concerned, the easy scale-up of two-phase catalysis can be illustrated by the first 0X0 commercial unit with an initial capacity of 100 000 tons extrapolated by a factor of 1 24 000 (batch-wise laboratory development to production reactor) after a development period of 2 years [4].
