An integrated extraction–separation process: extraction and selective separation of chlorophylls betalains using thermoreversible aqueous biphasic systems.
Acetylsalicylic acid, commercially available as aspirin, is one of the most used drugs in world, being detected several environmental compartments, including drinking water supplies. Given its impact, development a cost‐effective technology capable removing this pharmaceutical from samples high relevance, for which materials based on silica chemically modified with ionic liquids (SILs) can be foreseen promising alternative. In work, four SILs (with chloride anion and imidazolium or...
