Selective extraction of metals from mixed oxide matrixes using choline-based ionic liquids.
The solubility of a range of metal oxides in a eutectic mixture of urea/choline chloride is quantified, and it is shown that the dissolved metals can be reclaimed from a mixed metal oxide matrix using electrodeposition.
