Deep Eutectic Solvents in Liquid-Liquid Extraction

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a new class of green solvents that open a whole new world of opportunities for separation challenges. This book comprehensively provides a detailed discussion of their application as an extractive solvent in separation processes, adopting molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for atomistic insight into the solute transfer across bi-phasic systems. Furthermore, it explains ternary and quaternary mixtures, including MD simulation of relevant DES systems.Features in this volume include the following:Applications of DESs in the extraction of aromatics and polyaromatics from fuel oil by liquid–liquid extractionEutectic behavior with respect to hydrocarbon and aqueous solutionsMD insights on extraction using DESsPossible industrial applicability of potential DESsResults from Gaussian, NAMD, and PACKMOL software packagesThis book is aimed at researchers and graduate students working in the field of fuels and petrochemicals, separation science, chromatography, and chemical processing and design.
