Ionic-Liquid-Based Aqueous Biphasic Systems

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

Abstract

Among the several applications reported for ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-based ABS), these systems have shown to be highly effective in the extraction of amino acids. In this chapter, the extraction potential for amino acids of IL-based ABS composed of hydrophilic ILs and different salting-out/-in agents, such as inorganic and organic salts, carbohydrates, and polypropylene glycol (PPG) 400, is reviewed. A brief overview on factors affecting the extraction potential of ABS, such as the chemical structures of the ILs cations and/or anions and the salting-out effects, is also provided. The impact of the charge and the structural/physicochemical properties of the amino acids on their partition coefficients are also discussed. Finally, the effect of the addition of various imidazolium-based ILs to conventional polyethylene glycol (PEG)-salt ABS in what concerns their extraction capability for amino acids is reviewed and discussed.
