Abstract
Hormonal drugs in biological samples are usually in low concentration and highly intrusive. It is of great significance to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the detection process of hormone drugs in biological samples by utilizing appropriate sample pretreatment methods for the detection of hormone drugs. In this study, a sample pretreatment method was developed to effectively enrich estrogens in serum samples by combining molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction, which has high specificity, and non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, which has a high enrichment ability. The theoretical basis for the effective enrichment of estrogens by non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent was also computed by simulation. The results showed that the combination of molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction and deep eutectic solvent-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction could improve the sensitivity of HPLC by 33∼125 folds, and at the same time effectively reduce the interference. In addition, the non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent has a relatively low solvation energy for estrogen and possesses a surface charge similar to that of estrogen, and thus can effectively enrich estrogen. The study provides ideas and methods for the extraction and determination of low-concentration drugs in biological samples and also provides a theoretical basis for the application of non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent extraction.

Abstract
In this study, the efficacy of two of the best performing green solvents for the fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass, cholinium arginate (ChArg) as biobased ionic liquid (Bio-IL) and ChCl:lactic acid (ChCl:LA, 1:10) as natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), was investigated and compared in the pretreatment of an agri-food industry waste, apple fibers (90°C for 1 h). For the sake of comparison, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (BMIM OAc) as one of the best IL able to dissolve cellulose was also used. After the pretreatment, two fractions were obtained in each case. The results gathered through FTIR and TG analyses of the two materials and the subsequent DNS assay performed after enzymatic treatment led to identify ChArg as the best medium to delignify and remove waxes, present on the starting apple fibers, thus producing a material substantially enriched in cellulose (CRM). Conversely, ChCl:LA did not provide satisfactorily results using these mild conditions, while BMIM OAc showed intermediate performance probably on account of the reduced crystallinity of cellulose after the dissolution-regeneration process. To corroborate the obtained data, FTIR and TG analyses were also performed on the residues collected after the enzymatic hydrolysis. At the end of the pretreatment, ChArg was also quantitatively recovered without significant alterations.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been widely studied for interesting solvent properties in resources utilization and green conversion of energy. Complex composition of DES and lack of recovery techniques restricts their further scale-up application. Exploring efficient recovery and regeneration methodology of DES in biorefinery could be beneficial for low-carbon circular bioeconomy. Recovery and regeneration of choline-polyol DES (choline chloride-ethylene glycol, ChCl-EG) after biomass pretreatment was studied using bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) with ultrafiltration (UF). UF-BMED treatment worked based on the interception of macromolecular degradation products in pretreatment liquor and regional recovery of Ch+, Cl- with EG. Influence of major parameters on DES recovery performance was studied with emphasis. Maximum recovery ratio of DES reached 97.4% and minimum specific energy consumption of DES recovery approached 6.0 kW·h/kg. Cognition gained from this research revealed an efficient technique for DES recycling after biorefinery.

Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents for the Recovery of Bio-Based Chemicals: Solid–Liquid Equilibria and Liquid–Liquid Extraction. Processes (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
The solid–liquid equilibrium (SLE) behavior and liquid–liquid extraction (LLX) abilities of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) containing (a) thymol and L-menthol, and (b) trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and L-menthol were evaluated. The distribution coefficients (KD) were determined for the solutes relevant for two biorefinery cases, including formic acid, levulinic acid, furfural, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and L-lactic acid. Overall, for both cases, an increasing KD was observed for both DESs for acids increasing in size and thus hydrophobicity. Furfural, being the most hydrophobic, was seen to extract the highest KD (for DES (a) 14.2 ± 2.2 and (b) 4.1 ± 0.3), and the KD of lactic acid was small, independent of the DESs (DES (a) 0.5 ± 0.07 and DES (b) 0.4 ± 0.05). The KD of the acids for the TOPO and L-menthol DES were in similar ranges as for traditional TOPO-containing composite solvents, while for the thymol/L-menthol DES, in the absence of the Lewis base functionality, a smaller KD was observed. The selectivity of formic acid and levulinic acid separation was different for the two DESs investigated because of the acid–base interaction of the phosphine group. The thymol and L-menthol DES was selective towards levulinic acid (Sij = 9.3 ± 0.10, and the TOPO and L-menthol DES was selective towards FA (Sij = 2.1 ± 0.28).
