BASILTM (Biphasic Acid Scavenging
utilizing Ionic Liquids) is an auxiliary
for acid scavenging – The first
commercial process employing ILs by
BASF

BASIONICTM - A broad portfolio of
Ionic Liquids by BASF

BASF uses N-methylimidazolium
chloride, which has a melting point
of 75 °C. to scavenge acid that is
formed in the process of
alkoxyphenylphosphines
production.
