Deep Eutectic Solvents: Fundamentals and Emerging Applications

Deep eutectic solvents represent the newest addition among all other non-conventional and alternate solvent systems. Deep Eutectic Solvent Fund Emerging Applications provides detailed insights on these neoteric solvents, their synthesis methods, types, physicochemical properties, and sustainable applications in emerging scientific areas. The book follows a mechanistic approach on understanding the role of DESs as sustainable media for CO2 capture, biomass pretreatment, as catalysts, as reaction media for material synthesis, cross coupling reactions, templates for drug delivery, etc. The book offers a springboard for encouraging vital discussions and inspiring further innovations in the field of environmentally benign eutectic solvent systems. Provides a detailed account of development on DESs with special focus on hydrophilic /hydrophobic DESs Describes experimental and theoretical outlook on the physical and chemical properties of DESs Discusses the toxicity profiling of DESs and their importance in designing biocatalytic routes Includes DESs in emerging areas – pharmaceuticals, drug discovery, functional materials and membrane science Covers use of DESs in CO2 capture, biomass transformations, organic reactions, etc.
