Separation Processes The unique dissolving and miscibility properties of ionic liquids offer great potential in a broad range of separation processes, for example: as an entrainer in extractive distillations, e.g. ethanol/water in extraction processes (e.g. aromatics from aliphatics) in biorefinery (separation of lignin and cellulose)

Extraction Processes Utilizing Ionic liquids

"Due to their unique solvent properties ionic liquids can enable new separation concepts or new intensified processes and products. Their performance is the key driver to profitability."   Prof. Andre de Haan, University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands
