In the physical extraction experiments, the extraction efficiency was observed to be in the range of 43.30–47.67 %. The reactive extraction results showed that high extraction efficiency was obtained with organic phases prepared with TPA and diluent. The extraction efficiency reached around 99 % at a TPA concentration of 1.78 mol.L<sup>−1</sup> in MIBK. Although the results with conventional solvents and BMIM-PF<sub>6</sub> are close to each other, it can be stated that the high regeneration capacity and low volatility of ionic liquids may be the reason for preference compared to conventional solvents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17276,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Indian Chemical Society","volume":"102 5","pages":"Article 101682"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143696753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
