Download or read book Advances in the development and application of deep eutectic solvents written by Maria Luisa Di Gioia and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuous effort to perform a more sustainable chemistry has led to the development of new materials that accomplish the principles of green chemistry. In this context, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have arisen as a new generation of solvents that respond well to most of the characteristics that an ideal green solvent must possess: they are easy and cheap to prepare, stable, easy to handle (they show chemical stability, non-flammability and conductivity), separable from the reaction products, biodegradable and safe for both humans and the environment. At the same time, they show chemical-physical properties similar to ionic liquids, such as low volatility, conductivity and high solvent power. These characteristics mean that DESs are today classified as 2-st century solvents. DESs have been raising a lot of attention and a sharp increase of their applications in numerous sectors of chemistry: they are mainly used as alternative solvents and/or catalysts for various organic transformations including metal-catalyzed reactions, biotransformations, polymerization, in sample preparation and analytical techniques as well as in the design of pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems.

Download or read book Energy Resources and Systems written by Tushar Ghosh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-17 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the lifetimes of the authors, the world and especially the United States have received three significant “wake-up calls” on energy production and consumption. The first of these occurred on October 15, 1973 when the Yom Kippur War began with an attack by Syria and Egypt on Israel. The United States and many western countries supported Israel. Because of the western support of Israel, several Arab oil exporting nations imposed an oil embargo on the west. These nations withheld five million barrels of oil per day. Other countries made up about one million barrels of oil per day but the net loss of four million barrels of oil production per day extended through March of 1974. This represented 7% of the free world’s (i. e. , excluding the USSR) oil production. In 1972 the price of crude oil was about $3. 00 per barrel and by the end of 1974 the price of oil had risen by a factor of 4 to over $12. 00. This resulted in one of the worst recessions in the post World War II era. As a result, there was a movement in the United States to become energy independent. At that time the United States imported about one third of its oil (about five million barrels per day). After the embargo was lifted, the world chose to ignore the “wake-up call” and went on with business as usual.
