Oily wastewater poses a significant impact on both environments and human societies. Especially, the treatment of oil/water emulsions for separating oil from water is challenging due to high stability emulsions. Smart membranes, known as stimuli-responsive are one emerging technologies that have been paid wide attention in recent years. membranes possess unique features switchable wettability b...

Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) can integrate multiple unit operations and operate under continuous mode, contributing to the development of sustainable separation processes. Encouraged by designer solvent features ionic liquids (ILs), we herein propose their use as components double-stimuli-responsive (temperature- pH-driven) ABS. Resorting choline-alkanoate-based ILs pH-responsive poly(propyle...
