Ionic liquids (ILs) are becoming attractive solvents or catalysts in many industries, thus energy-efficient membrane-based technologies for the purification and concentration of ILs are gaining attention. Membrane wetting by ILs is recognised as the major challenge in membrane processes, but limited...
