IONIC LIQUID SEPARATIONS

摘要

A process for the separation of organic compounds comprises centrifugal partitioning of at least one organic compound between a mobile liquid phase and an immiscible stationary liquid phase. At least one of the mobile liquid phase and the stationary liquid phase comprises or consists of an ionic liquid. A rotary coil centrifuge for counter current chromatography and a liquid-liquid chromatography or liquid-liquid extraction apparatus may be used in the process.
