Abstract
Selective separation of tocopherol homologues was performed by liquid−liquid extraction, using ionic liquids (ILs) as extractants in the presence of diluent. The distribution coefficients and selectivities of tocopherols in the biphasic system were determined. A selectivity of δ-tocopherol to α-tocopherol up to 21.3 was achieved when using [bmim]Cl as extractant diluted by methanol. Considering the structural differences of tocopherols, the separation mechanism based on the hydrogen-bonding interaction between IL’s anion and the −OH group on the tocopherols was proposed. The separation efficiency of IL was greatly affected by its anion, and followed the order [bmim]BF4 < [bmim]CF3SO3 < [bmim]Cl under the same conditions, which is consistent with the ascending order of IL’s hydrogen-bond basicity strengths.
