Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As a new kind of new green solvent, ionic liquids are represented as fluid, semi-organic salts comprising a bulky asymmetric organic cations, such as imidazolium, phosphonium, sulfonium, ammonium, pyridinium, piperidinium, pyrrolidinium, morpholinium, and weakly coordinating organic or inorganic anions (including halides, tetrafluoroborate, hexafuorophosphate, trifate, bis(trifuoromethylsulfonyl) imide, dicyanamide) at or near room temperature). Many applications for them have been reported in recent years. Now, we would like to invite you to contribute with original research articles and reviews to the present Special Issue on the latest trends on the comprehensive use of ionic liquids in the extraction and separation for various objects (harmful substances, bioactive ingredients, biological samples, fine chemicals, etc.) and different purposes (removal, preparation, quantification, etc.).

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

To better control the quality of saponins, ensure their biological activity and clinical therapeutic effect, and expand the development and application of saponins, this paper systematically and comprehensively reviews the separation and analytical methods of saponins in the past decade. Since 2010, the electronic databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, ISI Web of Science, Science Direct, Wiley, Springer, CNKI (National Knowledge Infrastructure, CNKI), Wanfang Med online, and other databases have been searched systematically. As a result, it is found that ionic liquids and high-performance countercurrent chromatography are the most popular extraction and separation techniques for saponins, and the combined chromatography technique is the most widely used method for the analysis of saponins. Liquid chromatography can be used in combination with different detectors to achieve qualitative or quantitative analysis and quality control of saponin compounds in medicinal materials and their preparations. This paper provides the latest valuable insights and references for the analytical methods and continued development and application of saponins. Full article
