Abstract Bio-based 2, 3-butanediol (2, 3-BD) has attracted more and more attention due to
the relatively high cost of its petro-based production and the emerging economic …

Herein, a cradle-to-cradle recycling of post-consumer NMC batteries has been
demonstrated with a focused separation of cobalt over nickel by applying the ionic liquid …

Microfluidic technology has attracted great interest across industry and academia. Its
engineering characteristics, through miniaturization, can enhance mass-and heat transfer …

The selective separation of cobalt from nickel is of major importance for the recovery of
cobalt from primary or secondary sources, as well as for analytical purposes. In this paper …

In recent years, Metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) as a new group of compounds with high
porosity [1], significant specific surface area, crystallinity [2], tenability, structural tunability [3] …

The demand for the recovery of valuable metals and the need to understand the impact of
heavy metals in the environment on human and aquatic life has led to the development of …

Today, biphasic aqueous systems have received more attention than conventional
separation methods due to their advantages, such as biocompatibility, low cost, and easy …

The solvation of the Co 2+ ion in the [C 4 mim][Tf 2 N](1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis
(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide) room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) has been studied from …

The rising demand of metals for batteries is calling for advanced methods to separate
metallic mixtures in mineral ores and electronic waste. In particular, the extraction in …
