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/water mixtures with tunable lower critical solution temperature behavior have significant implications for liquid-liquid phase separation and purification. By adding different types of amphiphiles, the phase separation temperature of the ionic liquid solution can be regulated. Zwitterionic additives increase the phase separation temperature, while anionic additives decrease it. The amphiphile-regulated system can selectively separate different types of amino acids.

Summary: Ionic liquid based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-ABS) were formed by adding a hydrophilic ionic liquid (C4mimCl) and a kosmotropic salt (K3PO4) to water. Flow patterns in capillary channels were investigated for the first time, using three different internal diameters and weight concentrations of the IL and salt. The main flow patterns observed were plug, dispersed, and parallel flow, which were influenced by both channel diameter and weight concentrations. A generalized flow pattern map was plotted based on capillary and Reynolds numbers, showing the collapse of plug flow boundaries.

Summary: The use of biobased and bioactive compounds has led to the development of sustainable extraction and purification processes using ionic liquids. In this study, six novel analogues of glycine-betaine ILs (AGB-ILs) were investigated for their potential use in IL-based ABS. The synthesized ILs showed relatively low ecotoxicity and good thermal stability. The extraction efficiency of furfural using AGB-ILs-based ABS was found to be up to 98%, suggesting the potential of these novel ABS for separation of bioactive compounds.

Summary: Although tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq(3)) and its derivatives are widely used in organic lighting devices, the use of metal-free 8-hydroxyquinoline is impractical due to rapid proton transfer. In this study, the problem of proton transfer and vibrational quenching was overcome by complexation and organization of 8-hydroxyquinolinium cations into a solid network with appropriate counter-anions. The resulting compounds showed superior photoluminescence and thermal stability compared to Alq(3) and related materials.
