When using an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [Bmim]BF4) as co-solvent, the extraction efficiency of anticancer agent paclitaxel from biomass was dramatically improved. However, the residual ionic liquid had a significant negative effect on convenient and feasibility of following concentration and drying steps. In this study, a novel method was developed for the effective removal of the residual ionic liquid in biomass extract. The residual ionic liquid was easily and conveniently removed by drying after treatment of a sample recovered by biomass extraction with water. Furthermore, the operation methods (sonication- or microwave-assisted operation) and major parameters (amount of water, stirrer speed and treatment time) of water treatment process were also investigated.
