Summary: A new temperature-responsive alkaline aqueous biphasic system was developed to remove radioactive (TcO4-)-Tc-99. The micelle formed in the system showed a high affinity toward (TcO4-)-Tc-99 and could extract more than 98.6% of it from the waste supernatant. The loaded (TcO4-)-Tc-99 could be easily stripped using concentrated nitric acid.

Summary: Ionic liquid (IL)-based aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) have attracted significant interest for extraction and separation of value-added compounds, serving as alternative solvents for non-biocompatible volatile organic compounds. Significant developments have been made in phase constituting components, temperature, pH, and extraction mechanisms in the field of IL-based ABS.

Summary: Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) have the potential to enhance separation processes by integrating multiple unit operations and operating under continuous mode. This study proposes the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as components of double-stimuli-responsive ABS, showing simultaneous responsiveness to temperature and pH. The findings inspire the development of customizable separation techniques, improving the performance and sustainability of separation processes.

Summary: This study proposes the use of triblock copolymers to develop double stimuli-responsive aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) with ionic liquids (ILs). The ABS exhibit a Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST)-like behavior and only show a simultaneous response to both pH and temperature when using a specific copolymer. Copolymers with an adequate content of polyethylene oxide (PEO) provide a stronger response to the simultaneous action of pH and temperature compared to the homopolymer polypropylene glycol (PPG). The results highlight the importance of adjusting polymer structure/monomer composition in developing ABS with double response to temperature and pH. The enhanced tailoring ability of the proposed systems is demonstrated through the simultaneous separation of two dyes.

Summary: We have developed a novel approach for palladium (Pd) recovery using the ionic liquid 1-cyanopyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C(3)CNmim][Cl]) and potassium phosphate (K3PO4). The results showed that Pd extraction can reach 100% with a [C(3)CNmim][Cl]-based aqueous biphasic system. Pure palladium was obtained after electrodeposition and calcination. This method offers a more environmentally friendly and efficient way for Pd recovery on an industrial scale.

Summary: High-resolution Raman imaging is used to investigate the interface of salt-salt aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) at a molecular level, revealing a gradual change of environment instead of a sharp molecular interface. This knowledge is of great importance in understanding aqueous interfaces and has significant implications in various biological and technological settings, including novel battery technologies.

Summary: A green aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) composed of a guanidinium ionic liquid (GIL) and phosphate was constructed and used to extract palladium from an acidic solution. The results show that up to 100% of Pd(II) efficiently migrates from the lower salt-rich phase to the upper GIL-rich phase. Various characterization methods reveal the mechanism of palladium distribution in the GIL-rich phase, and palladium can be successfully recovered from the GIL-rich phase.

Summary: Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) can form when mixing water with two compounds with different anions, and their formation is influenced by anion size mismatch; through a combination of experimental techniques and molecular simulations, researchers found that the size and shape of anions play a significant role in the formation of ABS, providing guidelines for potential future applications.

Summary: In this study, we synthesized 12 oil-miscible ionic liquid drugs and found that one formulation containing oleate had 2.6 times higher permeation ability than the traditional levamisole salt. Animal experiments showed that the levamisole ionic liquid had higher plasma concentration and longer elimination half-life compared to the levamisole salt. Additionally, the levamisole ionic liquid demonstrated excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, oil-miscible ionic liquid drugs provide a simple and scalable strategy for the design of effective transdermal drug delivery systems.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate and propose a new integrated extraction technology for valorization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from unused/expired pharmaceuticals by using eco-friendly components. The results showed that citrate-based ABS induced the strongest salting-out effect for extracting APIs with high recovery efficiencies, while ionic liquid/PL6200-based ABS was used for fractionating acetaminophen and caffeine towards opposite phases. These findings demonstrate the viability and adjustability of PL6200-based ABSs as a sustainable and efficient alternative platform on a larger scale.
