The established methodologies accomplishing adsorption and liquid-liquid extraction (solvent extraction) have received a wide range in the separation and analytical chemistry domain for extraction of inorganic and organic constituents from the aqueous media. The reagents such as ionic liquids, activated noble biosorbents, surfactants, composite materials, thin films, mesoporous materials, and rare-earth oxide nano-compounds are becoming promising for their significant usages in aqueous separation chemistry. Thus, this Research Topic is exclusively intended to cover the advancement of the developed noble sorbents and noble green solvent reagents for their suitable adoption in liquid-liquid/solid-liquid separation chemistry. The unique complexation mechanism of adopted sorbents/solvent reagents in the association with metals/non-metals may give rise to clean and environmentally friendly separation technologies.
Separation is an essential aspect in analytical chemistry and aqueous separation chemistry. The adopted noble ionic liquids find potential applications in the domain of waste water purification technology. Thus, the solvent-solvent interaction in two immiscible phases includes metal-ligand bonding and can be well ascertained through the proposed aqueous chemistry. The chemical (surface complexation, ion exchange, hydrogen bonding) and physical (electrostatic interaction, Vander-wall interaction, pore filling) mechanisms involved between solvent and solute are also welcome to be covered in this Research Topic. Both separation methodologies including liquid-liquid extraction and adsorption incorporate the potential usages of above noble green non-aqueous (organic) solvent reagents/advanced sorbent materials to achieve clean separation of the target metals and non-metal ions species from the numerous aqueous solutions. We welcome Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• Liquid–liquid separation technology
• Ionic liquid in solvent extraction chemistry
• Solid-Liquid interface behaviour
• Nano-materials in the sorption process
• Rare-earths separation chemistry
• Nano-materials in analytical chemistry
• Chemistry on separation of organic dyes
• Activated and bio-sorbents on separation science
• Extraction of heavy metals
• Potential use of MOFs/MIPs/POFs
