Elsevier The Application of Green Solvents in Separation Processes

Product Description The Application of Green Solvents in Separation Processes features a logical progression of a wide range of topics and methods, beginning with an overview of green solvents, covering everything from water and organic solvents, to ionic liquids, switchable solvents, eutectic mixtures, supercritical fluids, gas-expanded solvents, and more. In addition, the book outlines green extraction techniques, such as green membrane extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, and surfactant-mediated extraction techniques. Green sampling and sample preparation techniques are then explored, followed by green analytical separations, including green gas and liquid capillary chromatography, counter current chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and other electrical separations. Applications of green chemistry techniques that are relevant for a broad range of scientific and technological areas are covered, including the benefits and challenges associated with their application. Provides insights into recent advances in greener extraction and separation processes Gives an understanding of alternatives to harmful solvents commonly used in extraction and separation processes, as well as advanced techniques for such processes Written by a multidisciplinary group of internationally recognized scientists Review Comprehensive overview of the advances and challenges in green chemistry, moving extraction and separation toward more sustainable processes From the Back Cover The Application of Green Solvents in Separation Processes provides an overview of the main achievements and benefits in extraction and separation processes by applying green chemistry principles. It reviews how the implementation of greener solvents in those processes improves performance and, in some cases, reduces the need for extraction and separation techniques. Applications of Green Chemistry techniques which are relevant for a broad range of scientific and technological areas are covered, including the benefits and challenges associated with the application of green solvents and techniques.
