Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for recovering entrained ionic liquid from an immiscible phase containing droplets of ionic liquid is described. The method includes contacting the immiscible phase containing the droplets of ionic liquid with a scrubbing ionic liquid phase in a scrubbing zone. The immiscible phase containing the droplets of ionic liquid has a first level of droplets of ionic liquid. At least a portion of the droplets of ionic liquid are transferred to the scrubbing ionic liquid phase to form a recovered ionic liquid phase comprising the scrubbing ionic liquid and the transferred portion of the droplets of ionic liquid and a second immiscible phase having a second level of droplets of ionic liquid lower than the first level. The second immiscible phase is separated from the recovered ionic liquid phase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for recovering entrained ionic liquid from an ionic liquid immiscible phase containing droplets of ionic liquid comprising: contacting the immiscible phase containing the droplets of ionic liquid with a scrubbing ionic liquid phase in a scrubbing zone, the immiscible phase containing the droplets of ionic liquid having a first level of droplets of ionic liquid, at least a portion of the droplets of ionic liquid being transferred to the scrubbing ion…
