TL;DR: In this paper, a liquid-liquid extraction method has been employed to recover glutaric acid from aqueous phase using a variety of inert extractant (cyclohexane) and natural, non-toxic extractants (rice bran and sesame oil).

TL;DR: In this paper , a low-cost process for the extraction of levulinic acid from the waste-water stream using various solvents such as toluene, xylene, and octanol at 25°C was proposed.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the separation of Protocatechuic acid (PCA) from an aqueous stream using Imidazolium-based ionic liquids (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolate octyl sulfate and 1-Hexyl, 3methy-3methyloridazolaide hexafluorophosphate with an efficiency of about 87% at 10% IL concentration for a PCA concentration of 10 mmol L−1.
Abstract: Due to superior characteristics, ionic liquids (IL) have become a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional toxic, flammable, and volatile organic solvents. Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a widely distributed phenolic acid and a key metabolite of complex polyphenols. It is a molecule that functions as a chemical building block for polymers and plastics as well as has pharmacological effects. The current project’s goal is to enhance the recovery of PCA by IL-based extraction from industrial waste streams and fermentation. This research investigates the separation of PCA from an aqueous stream using Imidazolium-based IL, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium octyl sulfate and 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate with an efficiency of about 87% at 10% IL concentration for a PCA concentration of 10 mmol L−1. The influence of the initial PCA concentration and IL concentration on the separation efficiency was also investigated, and various parameters helpful for the design of an industrial separation unit were determined.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used trioctylamine (TOA) as an extractant in a variety of solvents, including 1-octanol, 1-decanol, and cyclohexane, to extract aspartic acid from aqueous solutions.
