Yukun Huang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel method for separating zinc and cobalt using an ionic liquid, providing a dual separation mode with selective dissolution and extraction. The selective dissolution of metal oxide in the ionic liquid system is explained using a U/x value that correlates with the lattice energy of metal oxide. Additionally, the recovery of Zn and regeneration of the ionic liquid is achieved by back extraction of Zn-loaded ionic liquid using an oxalic acid solution, showing promising potential for separating similar metallic elements.
