Abstract

Further research toward the discovery of biodegradable ionic liquids (ILs) is described herein. The biodegradability of the target ILs was evaluated using the ‘Closed Bottle’ and ‘CO₂ Headspace’ tests (OECD 301D and ISO 14593). This research has identified the first ILs which can be classified as ‘readily biodegradable’ under aerobic conditions.
