Abstract This study deals with the improvement of the recovery performance in the solvent extraction of Cu(II) using the ionic liquid [bmim][Tf 2 N] and the β-diketone 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione (TFA) as extractant and its stripping with supercritical carbon dioxide. This work describes a modified procedure, which shows better L-L extraction percentages with a decreasing of the concentration of TFA, the contacting time and the volumetric O/A ratio respect to the previously reported tests. Thus, the extraction was implemented with a concentration of TFA in [bmim][Tf 2 N] equal to 60 mol m −3 , a contacting time of 5 min and an O/A ratio equal to 1:7. The stripping of the metal complex from the organic phase was achieved in semi-continuous mode with scCO 2 . This configuration allowed obtaining a stripping percentage higher than the obtained with a previously tested procedure in batch mode with a consumption of CO 2 4.3 times lower than the observed one in previous work.
