Extraction of tetracycline using the ionic liquid-based aqueous two phase systems: Single-stage versus multi-stage

Complete removal of textile dyes from aqueous media using ionic-liquid-based aqueous two-phase systems

Extraction of Cephalexin Using Aqueous Two-Phase Systems Composed of Cholinium Chloride and K3PO4

Cephalexin is an important antibiotic. It is very significant to determine an appropriate method for the extraction of this valuable antibiotic for industrial applications. Aiming at developing an efficient method for the extraction of cephalexin, the partitioning of cephalexin has been evaluated in aqueous two-phase system, including cholinium chloride and potassium phosphate. The effect of th...

Critical assessment of the formation of ionic-liquid-based aqueous two-phase systems in acidic media.

In this work, the ability of Na(2)SO(4) and ionic liquids to induce the formation of acidic aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) is investigated. Ternary phase diagrams, tie lines, and tie-line lengths for several systems were determined and reported at 298 K and atmospheric pressure. It is here shown that among the ionic liquids studied only those containing long alkyl side chains at the ions and/...

Thermoreversible (Ionic-Liquid-Based) Aqueous Biphasic Systems.

The ability to induce reversible phase transitions between homogeneous solutions and biphasic liquid-liquid systems, at pre-defined and suitable operating temperatures, is of crucial relevance in the design of separation processes. Ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-based ABS) have demonstrated superior performance as alternative extraction platforms, and their thermoreversible beh...

Extraction and separation of proteins by ionic liquid aqueous two-phase system.

A satisfactory protocol of protein extraction and separation has been established based on the ionic liquid aqueous two-phase system (IL-ATPS) for the purification of bioactive substances. Compared with the effects of eight different ionic liquids, 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([omim][Br]) was selected as the suitable ionic liquid. Based on the single-factor experiment, an initial serial...
