Room temperature ionic liquids are novel solvents with a rather specific blend of physical
and solution properties that makes them of interest for applications in separation science …

Oilfield produced water treatment represent a global challenge due to the presence of
several contaminants such as heavy metals and dissolved organic compounds. They cannot …

Ionic liquids (ILs) can be used to replace conventional solvents in liquid− liquid extractions
of aromatic hydrocarbons. An IL-based extraction process requires fewer process steps and …

Commonly used solvents for separation of aromatics from aliphatics using liquid–liquid
extraction are reviewed in terms of their physical properties and separation performance …

Many separation processes in petrochemical and refining industries are applied to close
boiling point compounds and/or azeotropic mixtures which make difficult the application of …

Separation of aromatics from aliphatics is a challenging process because of the close range
of their boiling points and the formation of several combinations of azeotropes. Until now, no …

The separation of aliphatic and aromatic compounds is a great challenge for chemical
engineers. There is no efficient separation process for mixtures with compositions lower than …

In order to screen ionic liquids (IL) as suitable solvents for the separation of benzene and
cyclohexane, the extraction efficiency of ILs (12 cations and 22 anions) was estimated based …

In this work, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy were used to study the interactions between
thiophene or benzene with three imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs): 1-butyl-3 …

Ionic liquids (ILs), with their unique and tunable properties, are attracting the interest of both
academia and refining companies as potential solvents for the extraction of specific …
