Liquid–liquid extraction is now widely used in industrial and analytical fields for the separation and purification of metal ions. However, in conventional solvent extraction, toxic and/or volatile diluents are commonly employed. In recent years, industrial wastes and scrap such as spent TV displays, fluorescent lamps, batteries, and cellular phones have been highlighted as valuable secondary resources of rare metals. Therefore a highly efficient separation technique for the recovery of these metals from such potentially complex mixtures is required (Nakamura et al., 2007; Kubota et al., 2009; Li et al., 2009; Pranolo et al., 2010). Growing attention has recently focused on room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) as alternatives to conventional organic solvents (Huddleston et al., 2001; Anderson et al., 2002; Rogers and Seddon, 2002; Zhao et al., 2005; Kubota and Goto, 2006; Plechkova and Seddon, 2008; Liu et al., 2009; Sun and Armstrong, 2010). ILs, which are molten salts generally composed of organic cations and various anions, have unique properties such as high thermal stability, negligible vapor pressure, and nonflammability, and are thus regarded as eco-friendly solvents. Their greatest appeal is that their physicochemical properties such as polarity, viscosity, density, and affinity with other solvents are extensively tunable by varying the combination of cationic and anionic partners (Huddleston et al., 2001; Anderson et al., 2002). Water immiscible ILs have a variety of potential applications in separation and analytical chemistry as separation media (Zhao et al., 2005; Kubota and Goto, 2006; Liu et al., 2009; Sun and Armstrong, 2010). Since Dai et al. (1999) first reported that the use of ILs as extraction diluents for metal ions offered significant improvements in extraction efficiency, IL-based extraction systems for metal ions have been intensively investigated using several conventional commercial extractants. The use of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6) as an extractant in imidazolium-based ILs significantly improves the extraction efficiency for Sr compared to that the use in a traditional organic solvent system.
