TBHQ t-Butylhydroquinone VOCs Volatile organic compound(s)... 

This experiment provides an alternative approach to measuring the partition coefficient (Henry s law constant) for volatile organic compounds in water. A OV-101 packed column and flame ionization detector are used. 

In 1990, a test using scrap tires (2x2 in. I DE) to generate steam for electricity was conducted at the Elexsys plant. The I DE replaced 20% of the plant s coal. Results showed that IDE is an environmentally sound fuel. Particulate emissions were reduced by the lower ash content of IDE, volatile organic compounds (VOC) were reduced because of more efficient burning of I DE compared to coal, and carbon dioxide emissions were reduced because I DE contains half the fixed carbon found in coal. Nitrogen oxide, chlorine emissions, and metals were also reduced, and ferrous metals and dioxins were nondetectable (7).

Volatile impurities in an ionic liquid may have different origins. They may result from solvents used in the extraction steps during the synthesis, from unreacted starting materials from the allcylation reaction (to form the ionic liquid s cation), or from any volatile organic compound previously dissolved in the ionic liquid.
