Abstract

Lately, application of green solvents has grabbed the attention of many researchers in different fields of study. Green solvents are considered as an alternative to conventional ones and offer several merits include non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability as well as ease of preparation. Green solvents have been successfully immobilized on the surface of different platforms such as polymers to provide a sustainable media for the extraction and determination of a diverse range of compounds. As an eco-friendly extraction phase, these solvents provide simple, cost-effective, and rapid enrichment of different environmental contaminants. In this account, this review presents the comprehensive overview about the recent advances in the development of green solvents such as deep eutectic solvents (DESs), natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), ionic liquids (ILs), surfactants, and bio-derived solvents to modify solid sorbents for the enrichment of different target pollutants from diverse matrices.
