Abstract
Alkaline ionic liquid aqueous solutions were used to extract biphenyl cyclooctene lignans derivatives, and hydrolyze to the free-state biphenyl cyclooctene lignans simultaneously from Schisandra chinensis by microwave-assisted heating. The hydrogen bonds formatted between ionic liquid and water molecular attacks the amorphous region of cellulose. Selective heating by microwave produce the more polar regions, which results in swelling and fragmentation of raw materials near the hot spots. Therefore, ionic liquid-microwave-assisted extraction method of free-state biphenyl cyclooctene lignans was set up. The solid residue after treatment was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, which showed that cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were removed partially. The water content of ionic liquid solution affected its viscosity and diffusivity, and in turns the extraction efficiency of lignans. The IL solutions with different mole fractions of IL were detected by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, the result shows that IL solutions with higher water contents (>0.6) won't form clusters. The optimum hydrolysis conditions were 0.2 g of ionic liquid catalyst per 5.0 g of S. chinensis fruits, a microwave irradiation power of 600 W, and heating time of 12 min, which gave a yield of free-state biphenyl cyclooctene lignans of 4.12±0.37 mg g-1. Besides, a hydrolysis mechanism of ester-bond biphenyl cyclooctene lignans and decreasing "biomass recalcitrance effect" by ionic liquid microwave-assisted method was proposed.

Recycling of 1,2-Dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide Ionic Liquid by Stacked Cation and Anion Exchange Adsorption-Desorption. SEPARATIONS 2019.

Abstract
There are many advantages to using ionic liquids as solvents or catalysts in chemical processes. Their non-volatile characteristic and high cost, however, can pose economic, environmental, and long-term health concerns. As such, the recovery and recycling of ionic liquids have become essential to mitigate their environmental impact and to reduce costs. Numerous recovery and recycling methods have been reported, including distillation, extraction, membrane separation (a.k.a. filtration), adsorption, crystallization, gravity, and electrochemical separation. Whereas most of these methods recover both cations and anions of the ionic liquid as ion pairs, recycling methods such as single-phase ion exchange or mixed-ion exchange/non-ionic adsorption methods recover only one of the ionic liquid ions, typically the cation. These methods are frequently used for the recycling of ionic liquids having simple anions such as chloride or acetate, but are seldom employed for ionic liquids consisting of larger and more complex anions due to the added time and reagent costs necessary for the regeneration of the original ionic liquid. Herein, a combined cation and anion exchange adsorption-desorption method is presented that can effectively separate 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonimide) [DMPIm][NTf2] ionic liquid from neutral impurities. More importantly, the method is capable of recovery and recycling of the original ionic liquid. Concomitant desorption of both ionic liquid ions was achieved using 0.1 M NaCl: methanol (90:10 v/v) eluent followed by isolation using liquid–liquid extraction to afford high purity products and yields of approximately 60%.

Abstract
With low melting point, extremely low vapor pressure and non-flammability, ionic liquids have been attracting much attention from academic and industrial fields. Great efforts have been made to facilitate their applications in catalytic processes, extraction, desulfurization, gas separation, hydrogenation, electronic manufacturing, etc. To reduce the cost and environmental effects, different technologies have been proposed to recover the ionic liquids from different solutions after their application. This review is mainly focused on the recent advances of the recovery and purification of ionic liquids from solutions. Several methods for recovery of ionic liquids including distillation, extraction, adsorption, membrane separation, aqueous two-phase extraction, crystallization and external force field separation, are introduced and discussed systematically. Some industrial applications of ionic liquid recovery and purification methods are selected for discussion. Additionally, considerations on the combined design of different methods and process optimization have also been touched on to provide potential insights for future development of ionic liquid recovery and purification.

Removal of Ionic Liquids from Oil Sands Processing Solution by Ion-Exchange Resin. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2018.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have been reported to be good process aids for enhanced bitumen recovery from oil sands. However, after the extraction, some ionic liquids are left in the residual solids or solutions. Herein, a washing–ion exchange combined method has been designed for the removal of two imidazolium-based ILs, ([Bmim][BF4] and [Emim][BF4]), from residual sands after ILs-enhanced solvent extraction of oil sands. This process was conducted as two steps: water washing of the residual solids to remove ILs into aqueous solution; adsorption and desorption of ILs from the solution by the sulfonic acid cation-exchange resin (Amberlite IR 120Na). Surface characterization showed that the hydrophilic ionic liquids could be completely removed from the solid surfaces by 3 times of water washing. The ionic liquids solution was treated by the ion-exchange resin. Results showed that more than 95% of [Bmim][BF4] and 90% of [Emim][BF4] could be adsorbed by the resins at 20 °C with contact time of 30 min. The effects of some typical coexisted chemicals and minerals, such as salinity, kaolinite (Al4[Si4O10](OH)8), and silica (SiO2), in the solution on the adsorption of ionic liquids have also been investigated. Results showed that both kaolinite and SiO2 exerted a slight effect on the uptake of [Bmim][BF4]. However, it was observed that increasing the ionic strength of the solution by adding salts would deteriorate the adsorption of [Bmim]+ on the resin. The adsorption behaviors of two ILs fit well with the Sips model, suggesting the heterogeneous adsorption of ionic liquids onto resin. The adsorption of ionic liquids onto Amberlite IR 120Na resin was found to be pseudo-second-order adsorption. The regeneration tests showed stable performance of ion-exchange resins over three adsorption–desorption cycles.

Abstract
In the past few years, the application of ionic liquids (ILs) had attracted more attention of the researchers. Many studies focused on extracting active components from traditional herbals using ILs as alternative solvents so as to address the issue caused by the traditional methods for extraction of natural products (NPs) with organic chemical reagents. Through the summary of reported research work, an overview was presented for the application of ILs or IL-based materials in the extraction of NPs, including flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids and so on. Here, we mainly describe the application of ILs to rich the extraction of critical bioactive constituents that were reported possessing multiple therapeutic effects or pharmacological activities, from medicinal plants. This review could shed some light on the wide use of ILs in the field of natural products chemistry to further reduce the environmental damage caused by large quantity of organic chemical reagents.

Abstract
Macroporous resin has been attracting intensive attention due to its critical role in separation and purification of natural products. Herein, a zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 reinforced macroporous resin D101 was prepared via a room temperature growth method and used for dispersive SPE of 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol. The parameters affecting the adsorption and desorption efficiency such as the sample pH, adsorbent amount, extraction time, desorption solvent, and desorption time were investigated. The as-prepared adsorbent showed selectivity for 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol compared to other phenols. Under the optimum dispersive SPE conditions, the detection of 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol coupled with a CZE method was conducted and the LODs for 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol were 1.37 and 1.43 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, the results of urine sample analysis showed the spiked recoveries to be in the range of 96.2-106.9%. This study indicated that D101@ZIF-8 (where ZIF is zeolitic imidazolate framework) is a promising selective adsorbent for the analysis of 1-naphthol and 2-naphthol in urine samples.
