Liquid-liquid equilibria in solutions with potential ecological importance

Abstract

In the last three years, our research follows two main issues, defined by the slogans: "green meets toxic" and "green meets green". The first issue considers the potential use of ambient friendly solvents for toxic organic compounds of industrial and practical importance. The other is related to liquid phase behavior in solutions of ecologically sustainable substances. The "green" solvents studied are: ionic liquids, liquid poly(ethylene glycol), glycerol and 1,2-and 1,3-propanediol. © 2010 Copyright (CC) SCS.
