Abstract

Porous monolithic advanced functional materials based on supported ionic liquid-like phase (SILLP) systems were used for the preparation of oleophilic and hydrophobic cylindrical membranes and successfully tested as eco-friendly and safe systems for oil/water separation and for the continuous integration of catalytic and separation processes in an aqueous-organic biphasic reaction system.
