Ionic liquid-mediated solvothermal synthesis of 4,4′-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI): an efficient and environment-friendly process

Mechanism for MDI synthesis via decomposition of MDC catalyzed by Zn(OAc)₂–[EAmim]BF₄.

Effective separation of aromatic and aliphatic amino acids mixtures using ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems

Based on the particular ability of aliphatic amino acids to form aqueous biphasic systems with ionic liquids, it is here shown how these systems can be used to selectively and efficiently separate mixtures of aliphatic and aromatic amino acids usually present in protein hydrolysates or fermentation media.

Green aqueous biphasic systems containing deep eutectic solvents and sodium salts for the extraction of protein

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a new type of green solvents, were applied for the extraction of proteins with aqueous biphasic systems (ABSs) in this study.
