Ionic liquids (ILs) are a kind of promising extractants for removing undesirable organics from industrial wastewater and crude oil, etc. Herein, IL regeneration by ozonation was proposed for its recycling. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4) and phenol were used as the representative IL and organic matter, respectively. The regeneration performance, stability of [Bmim]BF4, and roles of hydrogen bonds between O3 and [Bmim]BF4 in the phenol removal were studied. The experimental results showed that 90.2% of pheno
