Choline saccharinate and choline acesulfamate: ionic liquids with low toxicities
Peter Nockemann,Ben Thijs,Kris Driesen,Colin R. Janssen,Kristof Van Hecke,Luc Van Meervelt,Simone Kossmann,Barbara Kirchner,Koen Binnemans +8 more
TL;DR: The optimized structures, the energetics, and the charge distribution of cation-anion pairs in the ionic liquids were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and second-order (Møller-Plesset) perturbation theory calculations.
An environmentally friendlier approach to hydrometallurgy: highly selective separation of cobalt from nickel by solvent extraction with undiluted phosphonium ionic liquids
TL;DR: A green solvent extraction process for the separation of cobalt from nickel, magnesium and calcium in a chloride medium was developed, using undiluted phosphonium-based ionic liquids as extractants as mentioned in this paper.

Solvometallurgy: An Emerging Branch of Extractive Metallurgy
Koen Binnemans,Peter Tom Jones +1 more
TL;DR: Solvometallurgy is a branch of extractive metallurgy that uses non-aqueous solvents as mentioned in this paper, which is complementary to pyrometallurgy.
Extraction and separation of neodymium and dysprosium from used NdFeB magnets: an application of ionic liquids in solvent extraction towards the recycling of magnets
Sofía Riaño,Koen Binnemans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for the efficient extraction and separation of rare earths and other valuable elements from used NdFeB permanent magnets is presented, where an iron free leachate is prepared from an used magnet using nitric acid.

Homogeneous Liquid–Liquid Extraction of Metal Ions with a Functionalized Ionic Liquid
TL;DR: This new type of metal extraction system avoids problems associated with the use of viscous ionic liquids, namely, the difficulty of intense mixing of the aqueous and ionic liquid phases by stirring.
