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

[C2mim][CF3SO3] > [C2mim][EtSO4] > [C2mim][MeSO4] > [C2mim][Br] > [C2mim][Cl]<br />

[C2mim][CH3CO2] > [C2mim][CH3SO3] and [C4mim][CF3SO3] > [C4mim][N(CN)2] ><br />

[C4mim][HSO4] > [C4mim][TFA] > [C4mim][Br] > [C4mim][Cl] [C4mim][CH3CO2] <br />

In PEG-based ABS the salt anion has the major impact on the polymer solubility and hence<br />

in the ABS phase diagrams, while the cation has a minor (though sizeable) effect 74 . For the<br />

ILs, it is here shown that the IL cation has a huge influence in the phase diagrams<br />

behaviour allowing the IL-based ABS to be tailored to meet the specific requirements of a<br />

particular separation.<br />

The salting-out effect is usually explained based on the ordering of bulk water and on the<br />

ability of the ions to decrease the water structure by a simple hydration phenomena. Recent
