The present study aims at evaluating the capability of phosphate-based salts, whose anions can coexist in water depending on the media pH, to promote aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) formation with 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids, as well as to infer on the influence of the ionic liquid anion in the overall process of liquid–liquid demixing. In this context, novel phase diagrams of...

The number of applications involving ionic liquids has dramatically increased in the past few years, and their production and use in a large scale will inevitably lead to their dispersion into water streams (either by wastewater disposal or accidental leakage). Studies on the removal and recovery of ionic liquids from wastewater streams are therefore of crucial importance, yet particularly scar...

Abstract Imidazolium salts have always been well recognized as the precursors to ionic liquids. Various studies extended their biological properties, in which many discovered interesting results. In this study, a series of pyridine‐functionalized (benz)imidazolium were synthesized using conventional synthetic method, and microwave irradiation. The products tested biologically against list micro...
