The liquid-liquid extraction of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution was undertaken with 5 hydrophobic ionic liquids (ILs) based on bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion NTf2 for comparison purpose where three of them were of commercial origin, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium BMIm, 1-hexyl-3-met...
