Put it in reverse: The recycling of ionic liquids (ILs) by distillation of the regenerated volatile precursors was demonstrated to be feasible by using low-cost amide-cation-derived aprotic ionic liquids prepared from reversible O alkylation. The low viscosity (21.6 cP at 25 °C), high conductivity (...
