Abstract

Prolonged exposure to solvents has a harmful impact on all living organisms, damaging most organs. Reducing the use of solvents or replacing them with less toxic ones, are two of the most important ambitions of green chemistry. Water, supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, non-toxic liquid polymers and their varied combinations are part of the class of green solvents. They are characterized by low toxicity, convenient accessibility and possibility of reuse as well as great efficiency.
