“…Due to their exceptional properties, namely chemical and thermal stability, nonvolatility, adjustable miscibility and polarity [1], ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential substitutes for organic solvents and have found applications in a variety of fields as organic synthesis, catalysis, biocatalysis, electrochemistry, and separation technology, at both laboratory level and industrial scale [2][3][4]. In separations, further applications are related to the pharmaceutical, environmental and biomedical industries, where ILs have been used for liquid-liquid or supported liquid membrane extraction, as additives and as stationary phases in chromatography [4,5].…”
