I explore aspects of physical chemistry <\/strong>contribute to a sustainable development<\/strong> while preserving the environment<\/strong>. Physical chemical aspects related to solvation and molecular transport are key to optimize solvents and separation media and are essential to predict the environmental fate of chemical.
\n<\/em>My current research interests concern the study of solvation, solubility and separations in alternative<\/strong>, environmentally friendly solvents<\/strong>, mainly ionic liquids, from a point of view of molecular thermodynamics<\/strong>.
\nPorous liquids, in particular porous ionic liquids<\/strong>, are promising novel materials for gas separations<\/strong> but also as reaction medium in catalytic reactions<\/strong> involving gaseous reactants.<\/p>\n

GASES IN IONIC FLUIDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

I study the absorption of gases in ionic solvents<\/strong> – room temperature ionic liquids or their mixtures ( i.e.<\/em> multi ionic liquids, mixtures with molecular compounds, eutectic mixtures).
\nThe gases can be interesting to improve different separation processes<\/strong>, can be considered as models of complex solutes<\/strong> or can be used as molecular probes<\/strong> of the structure of the liquid solvent.<\/p>\n
