COURSE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a topic of scientific interest for researchers and have attracted attention in many areas of modern science since the mid-1990s . For last two decade, ILs have been used as solvents or materials, or both, in many applications, including chemical processes, separation, waste management, surfactant technology and capture of gases due to their exceptional properties consisting of the combination of “green” properties with tunable physicochemical and biological properties. Recently, focus has shifted to more environmentally acceptable second- and third generation ILs comprising biocompatible cations (e.g., cholinium salts) and anions, such as amines and amino acids. A wide range of such ILs have been derived from readily available renewable resources and used in various industrial applications. Compared with first-generation ILs, the use of second- and third generation ILs provides better physical, chemical, and biological properties, and they are also attractive from both an environmental and an economic viewpoint. The knowledge on synthesis, purification and characterization of ionic liquids is important prior of utilizing ionic liquids for any applications. Among the different applications, ILs have been used significantly in oil industries due to their promising environmental and technological benefits of low volatility, low toxicity, high surface activity and thermal stability. Furthermore, the self‐assembling properties of amphiphilic surface active ILs (SAILs) have provided superior surface activity and appeared to form supramolecular nano- to giant- aggregates viz., micelles, vesicles, wormlike micelles and multi-layered vesicles. Considering all these points SAIL particularly 2nd and 3rd generation ILs derived from renewable bioresources can be used as a potential alternative of chemical dispersants including COREXIT, which is used for major the marine oil spill remediation.

1. Dr. Normawati Mohamad Yunus (UTP)
Dr. Noraini Abd Ghani is a lecturer at the Fundamental & Applied Sciences Department. She has received her PhD in Catalysis from Universiti Putra Malaysia. She has been involved in development of materials of CO2 valorization and air pollutants with ionic liquids assistance since 2015 as a member of Centre of Research in Ionic Liquids, CORIL), UTP. She is a registered chemist by Institut Kimia Malaysia (IKM) and a member of Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), UK.
3. Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Moniruzzaman (UTP)
Dr Muhammad Moniruzzaman serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. He received his Ph.D (2007) in biochemical engineering from Kanazawa University, Japan. He then worked at Kyushu University, Japan and Okayama University, Japan. He is now editorial board member of Biochemical Engineering Journal. His current research interests focus on the development of biocompatible and biodegradable ionic liquids as an alternative “green” solvent/agent in surfactant technology, separation technology and pharmaceutics including drug delivery and formulations. He has published 18 review articles and more than 120 research articles in international peer reviewed journals.
Nadzir graduated with BSc of Mechanical Engineering in 2013 and joined PIMMAG as the Base Supervisor. His primary responsibilities are to assist the Base Manager in the daily operations of the base.
He was promoted to the Base Manager in 2015, a position in which he holds till today.
Besides running the daily operations of Port Dickson Base, he is also involve in OSR equipment servicing and maintenance and responding to an oil spills. He is also a qualified trainer, having conducted more than 150 PIMMAGs OSR Courses ranging from Operator, Supervisory and Management levels. These courses include classroom sessions, practical beach and offshore deployment and syndicated/table top exercises. He was also been invited as a speaker in ASEAN IMO OPRC Level 3 Malaysian ITCP Workshop.
Nadzir has responded to several oil spill incidents since joining PIMMAG. The biggest oil spill he had responded to was at Johor Port in 2017. There, he leads the PIMMAG team from the beginning until stand down which lasted about 25 days.
