Abstract
Solvents influence cost, safety, and health concerns in addition to defining a significant portion of the environmental performance of chemical industrial processes. The concept of “green” solvents reflects the intention to reduce the negative effects that solvent use in chemical production has on our surroundings. This chapter provides a thorough framework for evaluating the environmental impact of solvents, covering significant health and safety concerns in addition to key facets of the solvents' environmental performance in chemical manufacturing. The methodology integrates the evaluation of substance-specific risks with the measurement of emissions and resource consumption during a solvent's whole life cycle. This chapter also discusses the requirements for green solvents, what constitutes an ideal green solvent, and the various kinds of green solvents, including supercritical carbon dioxide, water, fluorous solvents, glycerol as a solvent, ionic liquids, deep eutectic liquids, and switchable solvents.
