Abstract

The magnetic response of the mixture of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate ([bmim] Fe Cl4) and water was investigated. The [bmim] Fe Cl4 rich phase in the mixture forming two phases was easily separated under an external magnetic field. The homogeneous mixtures of [bmim] Fe Cl4 and water were also attracted to the direction of the magnetic field. Under a gradually varied magnetic field, the concentration of the mixture varied as a function of the magnetic field strength. We confirmed the possibility of a magnetic recovery system using the mixtures of [bmim] Fe Cl4 and water.
