In this study, the production of γ-valerolactone(GVL) by selective hydrogenation of α-angelica lactone(AL) and separation of the products from the IL solvent were carried out by using subcritical CO_2 as a "switch" at room temperature. After the mixture was separated into two phases by subcritical CO_2, AL and nano Pd/C catalyst were only found in the lower IL-rich phase, GVL was produced with quantitative yield and enriched in the upper methanolrich phase. Pure GVL can be obtained by depressurizing to release CO_2 and evaporation to remove methanol of the upper phase, the lower phase containing IL, catalyst and methanol can be recycled for the next reaction. The strategy may provide a new approach to produce and separate products from IL solvents at mild conditions.展开更多
