Aggregation, toxicity, and biodegradability study of an ionic liquid-based formulation for effective oil spill remediation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 344:140412.

Abstract
Chemical dispersants are extensively used for marine oil spill remediation. However, the increased toxicity and low biodegradability of these dispersants restrict their employment in the marine environment. Hence, in this work, we have developed an eco-friendly formulation composed of an ionic liquid,1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium lauroyl sarcosinate [BMIM][Lausar] and sorbitan monooleate (Span) 80. Micellar and interfacial parameters, dispersion effectiveness, as well as the toxicity and biodegradability of the developed formulation were investigated. Micellar properties confirmed a high degree of synergism among the surfactant molecules and the formation of stable micelle. The dispersion effectiveness, at dispersant-to-oil ratio (DOR) of 1:25 (v/v), against three crude oils (Arab, Ratawi, and Doba) was assessed. We achieved a dispersion effectiveness of 68.49%, 74.05%, and 83.43% for Ratawi, Doba, and Arab crude oil, respectively, using a 70:30 (w/w) ratio of Span 80 to [BMIM][Lausar]. Furthermore, the results obtained from optical microscopy and particle size analysis (PSA) indicated that the oil droplet size decreased with higher DOR. Additionally, acute toxicity experiments were conducted on zebrafish (Danio rerio) using the developed formulation, confirming its non-toxic behavior, with LC50 values of 800 mg/L after 96 h. The formulation also exhibited high biodegradability, with only 25.01% of the original quantity remaining after 28 days. Hence, these results suggest that the new formulation has the potential to be a highly effective and environmentally friendly dispersant for oil spill remediation.

Abstract
In this study, we present a highly stable vegetable oil ionic liquid (IL)-based emulsion liquid membrane (VOILELM) for the removal of lactic acid from water streams. The system developed as a part of this work comprises a non-ionic surfactant Span 80, sodium hydroxide as an internal stripping agent, sunflower canola oil as a green diluent, and IL-tetramethylammonium acetate [TMAm][Ac]-as a carrier. VOILELM stability was evaluated in terms of breakage, emulsion diameter, and standalone stability. The effect of various parameters, namely, concentration of the surfactant, concentration of the internal stripping agent, concentration of the carrier, phase ratio, homogenizer speed, and homogenization time, on the VOILELM stability was studied. The results revealed that VOILELM was highly stable, with 1.34% minimum breakage, 1.16 μm emulsion diameter, and 131 min standalone stability. The optimal process parameters were 0.1 wt % Span 80, 0.1 M NaOH, 0.3 wt % IL, 0.25 phase ratio, 5000 rpm homogenizer speed, and 5 min homogenization time. At these optimized conditions, 96.08% lactic acid extraction efficiency was achieved. Thus, a highly effective VOILELM was developed, with minimal breakage and emulsion diameter and maximum stability.

Abstract
Lactic acid is an attractive target platform chemical obtained from biorefinery processes based on renewable resources. This study focuses on the recovery of lactic acid from corn stover hemicellulose-derived liquor. Two processes were investigated comparatively. In process I, under the optimized conditions of 10 wt % trioctylamine/octanol, the extraction efficiency and distribution coefficient of lactic acid were 50.8% and 1.03, respectively. In process II, a salting-out extraction step was introduced, which had significant impacts on the following reactive extraction process. The extraction efficiency and distribution coefficient of lactic acid were about 32.2% and 3.85 times higher than that of process I, respectively. All residual sugars and most of the salts (82.8%) could be removed by the salting-out extraction system used. Additionally, five extraction cycles with back-extraction and solvent regeneration were performed, and the results showed that the extraction system still exhibited stable performance. Effective extraction of lactic acid from crude reaction liquor of corn stover was realized by first salting-out and consecutive reactive extraction, which provided a potential method for recovery of lactic acid from actual biomass-derived liquor.
