Extractive removal and recovery of bisphenol A from aqueous solutions using terpenoids and hydrophobic eutectic solvents

Liquefying Flavonoids with Terpenoids through Deep Eutectic Solvent Formation

“…The performance of this model is remarkable, as it can quantitatively predict the SLE phase diagrams of all the systems studied, with the exception of a small composition window in the thymol/flavone system, where the eutectic temperature appears to be underestimated. These results reinforce COSMO-RS as a valuable and fundamental tool to screen precursors for the DES formation, as advocated in previous works [20,21,38]. In addition, it is worth noting that the COSMO-RS model was developed for non-ionic mixtures, which makes it particularly useful and accurate for the formulation of type V DES.…”

Biocarbonates Derived from CO2 and Terpenes: Molecular Design for Aqueous Mixture Treatment Driven by COSMO-RS

“…All the practice generates various pollutants that must be eliminated, such as phenolic compounds 9 or specifically bisphenol A. 10 In this sense, terpenes have been tested and proved as efficient extracting agents in the separation of other compounds of interest from aqueous mixtures, such as furfural 11 or volatile fatty acids (VFAs). 12 Terpenes are natural solvents of plant origin with outstanding technical and chemical properties.…”

“…Hydrophobic biosolvents stand as relevant to water treatments, replacing VOCs, 19 methyl isobutyl ketone, 24 or ethyl acetate. 10 The role of this new class of hydrophobic biosolvents emerges interestingly and synergistically by contributing to the CO 2 circular economy.…”

“…On the other hand, industries, agriculture, and the general population use and release many compounds into wastewater. All the practice generates various pollutants that must be eliminated, such as phenolic compounds or specifically bisphenol A . In this sense, terpenes have been tested and proved as efficient extracting agents in the separation of other compounds of interest from aqueous mixtures, such as furfural or volatile fatty acids (VFAs) .…”

“…There are different options in the literature such as biomass-derived compounds (i.e., furfural, lactic acid, and their derivatives, glycerol, and its derivatives), carbohydrates, terpenes, ionic liquids, and natural eutectic solvents, among others. Hydrophobic biosolvents stand as relevant to water treatments, replacing VOCs, methyl isobutyl ketone, or ethyl acetate . The role of this new class of hydrophobic biosolvents emerges interestingly and synergistically by contributing to the CO 2 circular economy.…”
