Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are a category of new class that can overcome some the main drawbacks typical and ionic liquids (ILs). DES have been widely investigated applied by research community in several applications since their invention. Over past years, use has directed to production materials items for products processes. This is case implementation various fields chemical engineering separations. very recently initiated be combined into membranes membrane In this regard, Review...
In this work, the recovery of molybdenum(VI) (Mo) from aqueous solutions was carried out by solvent extraction (SX) using ammonium and phosphonium-based task-specific ionic liquids (TSILs) as extractants diluted in kerosene two other hydrophobic room-temperature (RTILs). Four different TSILs were used extractants: trioctylmethylammonium bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate [TOMA][D2EHP]; benzoate [TOMA][BA]; trihexyltetradecylphosphonium [P6,6,6,14][D2EHP]; [P6,6,6,14][BA]. These synthesized to...
This work aims at the separation of n-butanol from aqueous solutions by means pervaporation using membranes based on gelled ionic liquids (IL). These were mechanically stabilized with a double silicone coating two polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films. The first step membrane preparation considered formation liquid layer, which was formed different imidazolium-based liquids: [omim][Tf2N] and [bmim][Tf2N], phosphonium-based [P6,6,6,14][Tf2N] [P6,6,6,14][DCA]. gelation procedure carried out porous...
The selective separation of adjacent rare earth elements (REEs), such as La(III) and Ce(III), is a critical challenge in hydrometallurgy due to their similar chemical properties. This work evaluates the performance non-dispersive solvent extraction (NDSX) using hollow fiber (HF) membranes for this purpose. Initial (SX) equilibrium experiments with Cyanex® 272 kerosene determined that aqueous phase’s optimal pH selectivity 5.6, achieving αCe/La= 12.7. NDSX demonstrated enhanced αCe/La=34...
Additive manufacturing must be highlighted as an innovative technology with the capacity to produce objects complex and customized geometries using a diverse range of raw materials. Despite its significant potential, research compiling evaluating specific contributions additive in field chemical engineering was scarce both quantitative qualitative terms. Similarly, application tools has not been specifically reviewed. Therefore, this work conducted comprehensive review scientific literature...
