Abstract:
1. A method of storing and stabilizing an unstable fluid in a cylinder for shipment to an end user wherein the end user can selectively dispense from the cylinder the unstable fluid, comprising: providing a cylinder configured for selectively dispensing the unstable fluid wherein said cylinder consists of a single storage space that is formed by inserting a valve assembly into said cylinder, wherein said valve assembly is operable to introduce the unstable fluid into said cylinder ; providing an ionic liquid that is not substantially chemically reactive with said unstable fluid and is contained within said single storage space of the cylinder; introducing the unstable fluid into said single storage space of the cylinder so that the unstable fluid is mixed with said ionic liquid for take-up of the unstable fluid by said ionic liquid; and shipping said cylinder containing a mixture of the unstable fluid and said ionic liquid to an end user wherein the unstable fluid experiences no decomposition during shipment and may further be dispensed from said cylinder.
