For ionic liquid processes to be adopted by industry there are two main challenges. First is the enormous capital and running costs when using expensive ionic liquids, compared to molecular solvents. In addition, if ionic liquids are disposed of there is great potential for environmental damage. These factors can be mitigated, by recycling ionic liquids in any process or product life cycle, as far as possible. This chapter reviews the topic of ionic liquid recycling, covering the main methods of recycling in the academic and patent literature. These include the classical methods of recycling compounds such as distillation, phase separation, extraction and crystallization. Adsorption and membrane methods are also covered. The various mechanisms of distillation will be covered, including distillation of ion pairs or dissociation of ionic liquids into volatile neutral species, which vaporize and recondense. The topic of aqueous biphasic systems is also covered, under the general method of phase separation. It is shown how even water miscible ionic liquids can be separated with the use of kosmotropic salts, commonly described in the Hofmeister series. Throughout this discussion the applicability to recycling of ionic liquids on an industrial scale is also considered.
