However, the synthesis costs, performance efficiencies and problems related to waste waters contaminated with ionic liquids are the major issues that need to be considered. Thus, recovery method is one of the alternatives to overcome the current issues. 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids were chosen for the study. The recovery process was conducted in two steps; water-washing and recovery using solvent. All the selected ionic liquids were extracted with water and BMIM CH3SO4 was 100 recovered. However the ionic liquids contained high percentage of water which may change the properties of the ionic liquids. This current work has studied not only on the performance of recovery, but also on the properties and the behaviour of the ionic liquids to be further reused in a particular application. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84893934147&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.879.230&partnerID=40&md5=3024911abc7aa0b7fbdcc2b0f75de324 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.879.230 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 879 place_of_pub: Langkawi pagerange: 230-236 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037859780 issn: 10226680 citation: Idaham, N.F. and Bustam, M.A. and Kait, C.F. and Man, Z.
