Solvent extraction of strontium nitrate by a crown ether using room-temperature ionic liquids†
Abstract
The preliminary results described here show that unprecedentedly large distribution coefficient (D) values can be achieved using ionic liquids as extraction solvents for the separation of metal ions by crown ethers. This work highlights the vast opportunities in separation applications for ionic liquids with crown ethers.
