Ionic liquids and deep-eutectic solvents in extractive metallurgy: mismatch between academic research and industrial applicability

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Koen Binnemans from the Ionic liquids (ILs) have dominated the development of green or sustainable chemistry [1] since the introduction of the , Principles of Green Chemistry in , [2]These neoteric solvents became enormously popular thanks to an influential review paper by Tom Welton (Imperial College London, UK) in , [3] and the enthusiastic promotion of ILs as green solvents by the late Ken Seddon (Queen`s University Belfast, UK) [4, ]. Since ILs are solvents that only contain ions, without any neutral molecules, they have an extremely low vapor pressure and are thus virtually non-volatile. The green . . .
