Mass spectrometry-based methods for analysis of ionic liquid species
The synthesis and use of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased steadily since their inception, driven by their distinctive useful properties. In cases where they replace harmful volatile organic solvents they are often considered “green” and in cases where they are recyclable, they may be considered sustainable. However, many of the properties—such as low volatility and stability—that make them attractive for applications also make them potential persistent contaminants, should they be released into the environment.
ACS Award for Creative Advances in Environmental Science and Technology
Purpose
To encourage creativity in research and technology or methods of analysis to provide a scientific basis for informed environmental control decision-making processes or to provide practical technologies that will reduce health risk factors.
Description
The award consists of $5,000 and a certificate. Up to $2,500 for travel expenses to the meeting at which the award will be presented will be reimbursed.
Life Cycle Assessment: Quantifying Environmental Impacts
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a process to evaluate the environmental burdens associated with a product, process, service, or activity by identifying and quantifying energy, materials usage, and environmental releases, assessing the impact of those, and evaluating and implementing opportunities to affect environmental improvements.
