4. Different Strategies for HMF Isolation from ILs.

IL anion separation method issues advantages ref
Cl crystallization extensive use of organic solvents, high selectivity of reaction required easy operation in small scale
Cl distillation sever process conditions, low HMF purity allow to increase the overall yield of reaction
Cl recirculation with acetone and CO2 usage of organic solvent and high-pressure operations (undermines ILs benefits) increase overall yield, simplified HMF isolation
Cl in situ conversion into FDCA low catalyst recyclability allow to obtain directly a high value product with high purity
[CF3SO3], [(CF3SO2)2N] in situ conversion into DFF low catalyst recyclability allow to achieve efficient product separation with high purity of the final product
[HSO4] stripping with water very low substrate loading, low yield of reaction allow to obtain HMF in water phase directly from glucose to be directly converted into FDCA
