Abstract
Extravagant price and lack of high-efficiency recovery technology limited scale-up utilization of ionic liquids. Ionic liquids recovery with electrodialysis-based techniques has caught wide concern due to membrane-based characteristic. Economical assessment for electrodialysis-based ionic liquid recovery and recycling in biomass processing was performed by determining influence of equipment-related and financial-related factors with sensitivity analysis for each factor. Overall recovery cost of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, choline acetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate varied within 0.75-1.96 $/Kg, 0.99-3.00 $/Kg, 1.37-2.74 $/Kg and 1.15-2.89 $/Kg when factors changed within investigated range. Fold of membrane cost, factor of membrane stack cost, factor of auxiliary equipment cost, factor of annual maintenance cost and annual interest rate of loan were positively related with recovery cost. While percentage of annual elapsed time and loan period were negatively correlated with recovery cost. Economical assessment confirmed economic efficiency of electrodialysis for ionic liquids recovery and recycling in biomass processing.

Abstract
Traditional technologies such as precipitation and coagulation have been adopted for fluoride-rich and silica-rich wastewater treatment, respectively, but waste solid generation and low wastewater processing efficiency are still the looming concern. Efficient resource recovery technologies for different wastewater treatments are scarce for environment and industry sustainability. Herein, a resource capture ultrafiltration-bipolar membrane electrodialysis (RCUF-BMED) system was designed into a closed-loop process for simultaneous capture and recovery of fluoride and silica as sodium silicofluoride (Na2SiF6) from mixed fluoride-rich and silica-rich wastewaters, as well as achieving zero liquid discharge. This RCUF-BMED system comprised two key parts: (1) capture of fluoride and silica from two wastewaters using acid, and recovery of the Na2SiF6 using base by UF and (2) UF permeate conversion for acid/base and freshwater generation by BMED. With the optimized RCUF-BMED system, fluoride and silica can be selectively captured from wastewater with removal efficiencies higher than 99%. The Na2SiF6 recovery was around 72% with a high purity of 99.1%. The aging and cyclic experiments demonstrated the high stability and recyclability of the RCUF-BMED system. This RCUF-BMED system has successfully achieved the conversion of toxic fluoride and silica into valuable Na2SiF6 from mixed wastewaters, which shows great application potential in the industry-resource-environment nexus.

Abstract
With the development of comprehensive utilization of high-salinity wastewater, salt resources regeneration has been considered as the fundamental requirement for process sustainability and economic benefits. As one of the potential candidates, bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) was rapidly developed in recent years for the treatment of saline wastewater. Different from other methods directly obtaining salts or condensed wastewater, BMED could utilize and convert the dissolved waste salt into higher-value acid and alkali simultaneously, which has various advantages including outstanding environmental effects and economic benefits. In this review, the recent applications of BMED for waste salt recovery and high-value acid/alkali generation from saline wastewater were systematically outlined. Based on the summary above, the economy analysis of BMED was further reviewed from the roles of desalination and resources recovery. In addition, the BMED-based processes integrated with in-situ utilization of the generated acid/alkali resources were discussed. Furthermore, the influence of operating factors on BMED performance were outlined. Finally, the strategies for improving BMED performance were concluded. Furthermore, the future application and prospects of BMED was presented. This work would provide guidance for the applications of bipolar membrane electrodialysis in saline wastewater treatment and the high-value conversion of salt resources into acids and alkalis.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), named also as liquid salts, are compounds that have unique properties and molecular architecture. ILs are used in various industries; however, due to their toxicity, the ILs’ recovery from the postreaction solutions is also a very important issue. In this paper, the possibility of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium IL, especially the N,N-dibutylimidazolium chloride ([C4C4IM]Cl) recovery by using the electrodialysis (ED) method was investigated. The influence of [C4C4IM]Cl concentration in diluate solution on the ED efficiency was determined. Moreover, the influence of IL on the ion-exchange membranes’ morphology was examined. The recovery of [C4C4IM]Cl, the [C4C4IM]Cl flux across membranes, the [C4C4IM]Cl concentration degree, the energy consumption, and the current efficiency were determined. The results showed that the ED allows for the [C4C4IM]Cl recovery and concentration from dilute solutions. It was found that the [C4C4IM]Cl content in the concentrates after ED was above three times higher than in the initial diluate solutions. It was noted that the ED of solutions containing 5–20 g/L [C4C4IM]Cl allows for ILs recovery in the range of 73.77–92.45% with current efficiency from 68.66% to 92.99%. The [C4C4IM]Cl recovery depended upon the initial [C4C4IM]Cl concentration in the working solution. The highest [C4C4IM]Cl recovery (92.45%) and ED efficiency (92.99%) were obtained when the [C4C4IM]Cl content in the diluate solution was equal 20 g/L. Presented results proved that ED can be an interesting and effective method for the [C4C4IM]Cl recovery from the dilute aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Due to the extensive range of ionic liquids (ILs) used in industry, an efficient recovery method is needed. In this study, the effectiveness of a simultaneous concentration and recovery method was investigated for 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Emim]Cl), an IL that was recovered using electrodialysis (ED). The optimal operational parameters for electrodialytic recovery were determined empirically. The variables that were investigated included the concentration of IL, applied voltage, linear flow velocity and the diluate-to-concentrate volume ratio. The recovery of [Emim]Cl, the concentration degree, the [Emim]Cl flux across membranes, the current efficiency, as well as the energy consumption were determined. The results of the experiments confirmed that [Emim]Cl concentration and recovery can be achieved using ED. The highest ED efficiency was obtained when a 2 V electric potential per one membrane pair was applied, using a 2 cm/s linear flow velocity, and by adjusting to 0.2 M IL in the feed solution. By using ED, a 2.35-fold concentration of [Emim]Cl with a recovery of 90.4% could be achieved when the diluate-to-concentrate volume ratio was 2. On the other hand, a 3.35-fold concentration of [Emim]Cl with a recovery of 81.7% could be obtained when the diluate-to-concentrate volume ratio was increased to 5.

Abstract
Oil spill from petrochemical industries into marine areas has resulted in severe environmental pollution. The use of natural sorbents to clean marine areas affected by petroleum contaminants is a promising approach to alleviate this problem. Therefore, this study aims at developing an technique that uses waste coconut fibres (Cocos nucifera L.) pre-treated with a "green" solvent, viz. protic ionic liquid (PIL) [2-HEA][Ac], for the remediation of oil in saline water. Conventional chemical pre-treatments (mercerisation/acetylation) and the innovative treatment (using PIL), chemical characterisation, Scanning Electron Microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and oil sorption tests in hydrodynamic simulation on a laboratory scale were conducted. The fibres treated with PIL[2-HEA][Ac] possessed more pores and hydrophobic content than the mercerised/acetylated coconut fibres, indicating the efficiency of sorption. The average sorption of the PIL[2-HEA][Ac] fibre was 1.40 ± 0.06 g/g and that of the mercerised/acetylated fibre was 1.32 ± 0.12 g/g. Although the difference in sorption results is not significant, according to the Tukey test, fibre pre-treatment with PIL[2-HEA][Ac] is more advantageous than conventional treatments because it exhibits better average sorption results; furthermore, the synthesis procedure for PIL[2-HEA][Ac] is simple, reusable and non-toxic. Therefore, the use of these petroleum biosorbents is a technology with environmental benefits, such as the availability of the biosorbent in the form of biodegradable waste and treated with a "green" solvent, both of which can be reused. Thus, it adds value for its use in industries with a circular economy product; that are environment-friendly and economical.
