Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) offer a new class of fluids for solvent extraction. This work presents drop size distribution data for the [bmim][PF 6]/water system and examines the basis of existing drop size prediction models developed for traditional organic/aqueous systems in a Karr reciprocating plate column and recommends how they may be used for these new class of materials. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
