Separation of metals using in situ formation of DES–DES biphasic systems†
Abstract
A biphasic system composed of two deep eutectic solvents (DES) sharing a common hydrogen-bond donor exhibits a tuneable phase behavior and efficient metal partitioning, yielding an improved separation selectivity of trivalent from divalent metal ions compared to the equivalent aqueous system.
