Scale compression

The combination of ionic liquids with supercritical carbon dioxide is an attractive approach, as these solvents present complementary properties (volatility, polarity scale.). Compressed CO2 dissolves quite well in ionic liquid, but ionic liquids do not dissolve in CO2. It decreases the viscosity of ionic liquids, thus facilitating mass transfer during catalysis. The separation of the products in solvent-free form can be effective and the CO2 can be recycled by recompressing it back into the reactor. Continuous flow catalytic systems based on the combination of these two solvents have been reported [19]. This concept is developed in more detail in Section 5.4. 

The case p < 1 corresponds to slowing down the rate of articulation by means of a time-scale expansion, while the case p > 1 corresponds to speeding up the rate of articulation by means of a time-scale compression. Events which take place at a time t 0 according to the new time scale will have occurred at p 1 t.(] in the original time scale.

On a small scale, compression moulding, where the requisite quantity of polymer pellets is introduced into a hot mould of the desired dimensions, then pressed into a homogeneous mould-sized sheet, has been found satisfactory.
