Ionic Liquid–Liquid Chromatography: A Novel Separation Method

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Commercial Applications of Ionic Liquids

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

There is a wide selection of ionic liquid /(water/organic solvents ) biphasic mixtures . These mixtures could be utilized for liquid–liquid extractions in countercurrent chromatography for the separation of organic, inorganic, and bio-based materials. A customized countercurrent chromatography has been designed and constructed specifically to adapt to the more viscous character of ionic liquid -based solvent systems to be used in a broad variety of separations (including transition metal salts, arenes , alkenes , alkanes , bio-oils , and sugars ).

This chapter is dedicated to the memory of our brilliant and inspirational co-author Professor Kenneth R. Seddon.
