The present disclosure provides a process for removing fluoroorganic acidic compounds from a solution comprising at least one protic solvent, comprising: forming a mixture of a solution comprising at least one fluoroorganic acidic compound comprising less than 15 carbon atoms and protic solvent, wherein the solution has a pH of 4, with an extraction composition comprising at least one trialkylamine and organic solvent; reacting the fluoroorganic acidic compound with the trialkylamine to form a hydrophobic ionic compound comprising the anion of the fluoroorganic acidic compound and the cation of the trialkylamine; separating the mixture into a first phase comprising the protic solvent and at most 50 wt. % of the fluoroorganic acidic compound present in the initial solution; and a second phase comprising the organic solvent and hydrophobic ionic compound; removing the second phase from the first phase; and repeating steps aforementioned at least once more, wherein the first phase obtained in the last step is used as the initial solution.
