FILTERING PROCESS AND SYSTEM TO REMOVE A1C13 PARTICULATES FROM IONIC LIQUID

摘要

A process for the filtration of an ionic liquid involves feeding an ionic liquid containing precipitated metal halides to a first filtering zone, which includes at least one first filter, to provide a partially filtered product. The process further includes subsequently feeding the partially filtered product to a second filtering zone, which includes at least one second filter having a smaller pore size than the at least one first filter, to provide a filtered product. A filter system capable of filtering precipitated metal halides from ionic liquid is also disclosed.
