Extraction of lanthanide ions from aqueous solution by bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid with room-temperature ionic liquids

Extraction of rare earth and heavy metals, using ionic solvents as extraction medium (A Review)

“…[7] Five different lanthanides elements were studied in their chloride form: CeCl 3 , NdCl 3 , SmCl 3 , DyCl 3 and YbCl 3 .It was proved that the extractability of lanthanides increases as the ionic radius of the lanthanides decreases.…”

Ionic Liquids within Microfluidic Devices

“…Besides, ionic liquids offer the specificity required to separate similar compounds from each other (Wasserscheid & Eichmann, 2001). Several authors reported on the use of ionic liquids for extraction of biomolecules (Pei et al, 2009;Ge et al, 2010;Tomé et al, 2010), aromatic compound (Meindersma et al, 2005;Zhou et al, 2009), metals (Wei et al, 2003;Germani et al, 2007;Yoon et al, 2010;Egorov et al, 2010), and organic compounds (Marták & Schlosser, 2007;Simoni et al, 2010). The use of ionic liquids for enantioselective extraction was studied as well (Huh et al, 2006;Tang et al, 2010).…”

Uptake of Europium(III) from Water using Magnetite Nanoparticles

“…Other types of pollutants have also been investigated in this context, examples include oil waste, phenolic compounds, pharmaceutical compounds, and dyes . Although several types of chemically functionalized sorbents have been described for lanthanide removal procedures, methods employing magnetic separation have been less exploited . Some examples include the use of high gradient magnetic separation columns for Yb(III) and Er(III) separation, multiwall carbon nanotube/iron oxide composites for Eu(III) adsorption and magnetic bentonite‐based adsorbents for La(III), Eu(III), and Yb(III) …”
