ILs + H2O + K3PO4 Ternary Systems<br />

separation resulting in a binodal curve closer to the axis and in a larger biphasic region.<br />

The results here obtained show that the ability of the ILs for ABS formation follows the<br />

order: [C6mim][Cl] > [C7H7mim][Cl] > [C4mim][Cl] > [C2mim][Cl] [amim][Cl] ><br />

[C1mim][Cl] > [OHC2mim][Cl].<br />

Figure 19 illustrates the experimental binodal curves obtained for the mono- and un-<br />

substituted imidazolium chlorides [C2im][Cl], [C1im][Cl] and [im][Cl].<br />

<strong>com</strong>posed by IL + K3PO4 + H2O at 298 K: ○, [im][Cl]; ▬ , [C1im][Cl] and Δ, [C2im][Cl].<br />

These systems reveal an “atypical” behaviour for ABS involving ILs not previously<br />

reported. The asymmetrical behaviour of these aqueous biphasic systems has been<br />

previously observed for ABS of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and low weight<br />

polysaccharides 72, 73 and they may constitute an interesting approach for product<br />

separations. For the same K3PO4 molality two monophasic and one biphasic regions are<br />

present and thus the system can be moved between the various phases by simple variation<br />
