In this study, a method of one-step separation and recycling of high purity Pd(ii) and Pt(iv) using an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-benzimidazolium bromate ([HBBIm]Br), was investigated.
A novel and efficient uranium capture strategy based on self-assembly is developed in an ionic liquid extraction system, by which the one-step separation and solidification of uranium are realized.
