Evaluating acute toxicity of amino acid ionic liquids towards Poecilia reticulata fish for designing sustainable chemical processes.

ABSTRACT: An acute toxicity study assessed the LC₅₀ values for eight different amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs), featuring two cations, tetrabutylphosphonium [P₄₄₄₄] and tetrabutylammonium [N₄₄₄₄], coupled with four anions [PHE], [ASP], [SER], and [GLY]. According to the OECD 203 standard for acute fish toxicity tests with guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata, all the AAILs exhibited low toxicity levels, and were practically nontoxic and harmless. The LC₅₀ values surpassed 100 mg/L and 1000 mg/L. This study provides valuable insights for industrial professionals in utilizing tetrabutylphosphonium-based amino acid ionic liquids [P₄₄₄₄] [AA] and tetrabutylammonium-based amino acid ionic liquids [N₄₄₄₄][AA] in chemical processes, indic
