Ionic Liquids

A short film explaining what Ionic Liquids are and how they are used. The film is silent and was produced for the Department of Chemistry at the University of Leicester, to be used as a background loop playing DVD at University Open Days.

Ionic Liquids are part of the research interests of Professor Andrew Abbott in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Leicester and in his words they are "Magic Potions for a Greener Environment".

Ionic Liquids are now produced and distributed by SCIONIX a University of Leicester spin out company. Details about SCIONIX can be found at: http://www.scionix.co.uk/

Ionic Liquids will save us from peak oil. They will make oil extraction from the vast tar sands, shale and coal much more efficient and super clean.
