Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are preferable in terms of starting materials, storage and synthesis, simplicity, and component material affordability. In several industries ranging from chemical, electrochemical, biological, biotechnology, material science, etc., DES has demonstrated remarkable potential. Despite all these accomplishments, the safety issue with DES must be adequately addressed. Different DES interacts with the cellular membranes differently. It is not possible to classify all DES as easily biodegradable. By expanding the current understanding of the toxicity and biodegradation of DES, interactions between organisms and cellular membranes can be linked. The DES toxicity profile varies according to their concentration, the nature of the individual components, and how they interact with living things. Therefore, the results of this review can serve as a baseline for DES development in the future.

Abstract
The reduction of nitric oxide (NO) emissions to atmosphere has been recently addressed using biological technologies. However, NO removal through bioprocesses is quite challenging due to the low solubility of NO in water. Therefore, the abatement of NO emissions might be improved by adding a chelating agent or a mass transfer vector (MTV) to increase the solubility of this pollutant into the aqueous phase where the bioprocess takes place. This research seeks to assess the performance of different non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPs): n-hexadecane (HEX), diethyl sebacate (DSE), 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyl-trisiloxane (HTX), 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane (HNO), and high temperature silicone oil (SO) in chemical absorption-biological reduction (CABR) integrated systems. The results showed that HNO and HTX had the maximum gas-liquid mass transfer capacity, being 0.32 mol NO/kmol NAP and 0.29 mol NO/kmol NAP, respectively. When an aqueous phase was added to the system, the mass transfer gas-liquid of NO was increased, with HTX reaching a removal efficiency of 82 ± 3% NO with water, and 88 ± 6% with a phosphate buffer solution. All NAPs were tested for short-term toxicity assessment and resulted neither toxic nor inhibitory for the biological activity (denitrification). DSE was found to be biodegradable, which could limit its applicability in biological processes for gas treatment. Finally, in the CABR system tests, it was shown that NO elimination improved in a short time (30 min) when the three mass transfer vectors (HEX, HTX, HNO) were added to enriched denitrifying bacteria.

Abstract
In this study, CO2 solubility in different choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has been investigated using the Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR). In this regard, the effect of different structures of the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in choline chloride (ChCl) based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has been studied in different temperatures and different molar ratios of ChCl as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) to HBD. 12 different datasets with 390 data on the CO2 solubility were chosen from the literature for the model development. Eight predictive models, which contain the pressure and one structural descriptor, have been developed at the fixed temperature (i.e. 293, 303, 313, or 323 K), and the constant molar ratio of ChCl to HBD equal to 1:3 or 1:4. Moreover, two models were also introduced, which considered the effects of pressure, temperature, and HBD structures, simultaneously in the molar ratios equal to 1:3 or 1:4. Two additional datasets were used only for the further external validation of these two models at new temperatures, pressures, and HBD structures. It was identified that CO2 solubility depends on the "EEig02d" descriptor of HBD. "EEig02d" is a molecular descriptor derived from the edge adjacency matrix of a molecule that is weighted by dipole moments. This descriptor is also related to the molar volume of the structure. The statistical evaluation of the proposed models for the unfixed and fixed temperature datasets confirmed the validity of the developed models.

Abstract
With the increase in environmental protection awareness, the development of strategies to reduce the use of organic solvent used during the extraction process has attracted wide attention. A simple and green ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvent extraction combined with liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic droplets method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of five preservatives (methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, isopropyl paraben, isobutyl paraben) in beverages. Extraction conditions including the volume of DES, value of pH, and concentration of salt were statistically optimized through response surface methodology using a Box-Behnken design. Complex Green Analytical Procedure Index (ComplexGAPI) was successfully used to estimate the greenness of the developed method and compare with the previous methods. As a result, the established method was linear, precise, and accurate over the range of 0.5-20 μg mL-1. Limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.15-0.20 μg mL-1 and 0.40-0.45 μg mL-1, respectively. The recoveries of all five preservatives ranged from 85.96% to 110.25%, with relative standard deviation less than 6.88% (intra-day) and 4.93% (inter-day). The greenness of the present method is significantly better compared with the previous reported methods. Additionally, the proposed method was successfully applied to analysis of preservatives in beverages and is a potentially promising technique for drink matrices.

Abstract
Green Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are considered here as an alternative to conventional organic solvents and ionic liquids (IL) for the extraction of phenolic compounds from pyrolysis oil. Although ionic liquids have shown a promising future in extraction processes, DESs possess not only most of their remarkable physico-chemical properties, but are also cheaper, easier to prepare and non-toxic, increasing the infatuation with these new moieties to the detriment of ionic liquids. In this work, phenol was selected as a representative of phenolic compounds, and toluene and heptane were used to model the pyrolysis oil. COSMO-RS was used to investigate the interaction between the considered Dess, phenol, n-heptane, and toluene. Two DESs (one ammonium and one phosphonium based) were subsequently used for experimental liquid–liquid extraction. A ternary liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) experiment was conducted with different feed concentrations of phenol ranging from 5 to 25 wt% in model oil at 25 °C and at atmospheric pressure. Although both DESs were able to extract phenol from model pyrolysis oil with high distribution ratios, the results showed that ammonium-based DES was more efficient than the phosphonium-based one. The composition of phenol in the raffinate and extract phases was determined using gas chromatography. A similar trend was observed by the COSMO-RS screening for the two DESs.

Abstract
CO2 is a low-cost monomer capable of promoting industrially scalable carboxylation reactions. Sustainable activation of CO2 through electroreduction process (ECO2R) can be achieved in stable electrolyte media. This study synthesized and characterized novel diethyl ammonium chloride-diethanolamine bifunctional ionic deep eutectic electrolyte (DEACl-DEA), using diethanolamine (DEA) as hydrogen bond donors (HBD) and diethyl ammonium chloride (DEACl) as hydrogen bond acceptors (HBA). The DEACl-DEA has -69.78 °C deep eutectic point and cathodic electrochemical stability limit of -1.7 V versus Ag/AgCl. In the DEACl-DEA (1:3) electrolyte, electroreduction of CO2 to CO2 •- was achieved at -1.5 V versus Ag/AgCl, recording a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 94%. After 350 s of continuous CO2 sparging, an asymptotic current response is reached, and DEACl-DEA (1:3) has an ambient CO2 capture capacity of 52.71 mol/L. However, DEACl-DEA has a low faradaic efficiency <94% and behaves like a regular amine during the CO2 electroreduction process when mole ratios of HBA-HBD are greater than 1:3. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and COSMO-RS analyses confirmed that the bifunctional CO2 sorption by the DEACl-DEA (1:3) electrolyte promote the ECO2R process. According to the EIS, high CO2 coverage on the DEACl-DEA/Ag-electrode surface induces an electrochemical double layer capacitance (EDCL) of 3.15 × 10-9 F, which is lower than the 8.76 × 10-9 F for the ordinary DEACl-DEA/Ag-electrode. COSMO-RS analysis shows that the decrease in EDCL arises due to the interaction of CO2 non-polar sites (0.314, 0.097, and 0.779 e/nm2) with that of DEACl (0.013, 0.567 e/nm2) and DEA (0.115, 0.396 e/nm2). These results establish for the first time that a higher cathodic limit beyond the typical CO2 reduction potential is a criterion for using any deep eutectic electrolytes for sustainable CO2 electroreduction process.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a class of green and tunable solvents that can be formed by mixing constituents having very low melting entropies and enthalpies. As types of materials that meet these requirements, plastic crystalline materials (PCs) with highly symmetrical and disordered crystal structures can be envisaged as promising DES constituents. In this work, three PCs, namely, neopentyl alcohol, pivalic acid, and neopentyl glycol, were studied as DES constituents. The solid–plastic transitions and melting properties of the pure PCs were studied using differential scanning calorimetry. The solid–liquid equilibrium phase diagrams of four eutectic systems containing the three PCs, i.e., L-menthol/neopentyl alcohol, L-menthol/pivalic acid, L-menthol/neopentyl glycol, and choline chloride/neopentyl glycol, were measured. Despite showing near-ideal behavior, the four studied eutectic systems exhibited depressions at the eutectic points, relative to the melting temperatures of the pure constituents, that were similar to or even larger than those of strongly nonideal eutectic systems. These findings highlight that a DES can be formed when PCs are used as constituents, even if the eutectic system is ideal.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are efficient media for CO2 capture, and an electroreduction process using the deterministic surface of single-atom electrocatalysts is a facile way to screen gas absorption capacities of novel DESs. Using newly prepared transition-metal-based DESs indexed as TDESs, the interfacial mechanism, detection, quantification, and coordination modes of CO2 were determined for the first time. The CO2 has a minimum detection time of 300 s, whereas 500 s of continous ambient CO2 saturation provided ZnCl2/ethanolamine (EA) (1:4) and CoCl2/EA (1:4) TDESs with a maximum CO2 absorption capacity of 0.2259 and 0.1440 mmol/L, respectively. The results indicated that CO2 coordination modes of η1 (C) and η2 (O, O) with Zn in ZnCl2/EA (1:4) TDESs are conceivable. We found that the transition metals in TDESs form an interface at the compact layer of the electrocatalyst, while CO2 •-/CO2 reside in the diffuse layer. These findings are important because they provide reliable inferences about interfacial phenomena for facile screening of CO2 capture capacity of DESs or other green solvents.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are modified versions of ionic liquids (ILs) and are formed by the fusion of polar components (liquids or solids) via hydrogen bonding interactions. DESs are prepared by the simple mixing of two or three cheap constituents (that are capable of self-association) with gentle heating, which leads to a drastic decrease in their melting points. The resultant clear homogeneous mixture consists of cations, anions, as well as neutral molecules; this will contribute both ionic and molecular solvent properties to the DESs. DESs have emerged as alternatives to conventional organic solvents and ILs, which meet different criteria such as availability, low cost, low toxicity, biodegradability, recyclability, ease of preparation method, tunable, and designer physiochemical properties. Many of them have attracted considerable attention and haave been applied in distinct fields of chemistry. To summarize the full-scale development of DESs, this review discusses the history, classifications, various methods of preparation, properties, and some major applications in catalysis in the last three years. This review is expected to be helpful for the further development of DESs based on a summary of the fundamental research in the field.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are a new class of green solvents that have shown unique properties in several process applications. This study evaluates nonionic DES containing phenolic alcohols as solvents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture applications. Potential phenolic alcohols and the molar ratio between DES constituents were preselected for experimental investigations based on the conductor-like screening model for realistic solvation (COSMO-RS). CO2 solubility was experimentally determined in two different DES, namely, L-menthol/thymol in 1:2 molar ratio and thymol/2,6-xylenol in 1:1 molar ratio, at various temperatures and pressures. CO2 solubility in the studied systems was higher than that reported in the literature for ionic DES and ionic liquids. This study demonstrates that nonionic DES containing phenolic alcohols can be excellent, inexpensive, and simple solvents for CO2 capture.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formed by bio-phenol-derived superbase ionic liquids (ILs) and ethylene glycol (EG) exhibit a high CO2 capacity, up to 1.0 mol CO2/mol DESs, which is much better than those of the parent ILs. Surprisingly, mechanism results indicate that CO2 reacts with EG, but doesn't react with phenolic anions in the solvent, which is different from other DESs formed by superbase ILs and EG. The reaction pathway between CO2 and DESs used in this work may include two steps. The first step is the acid-base reaction between the phenolic anion and EG, which forms HO-CH2-CH2-O-, and then CO2 is attached to the anion HO-CH2-CH2-O- to form a carbonate species.

Abstract
Acid gas removal from gaseous streams such as flue gas, natural gas and biogas is mainly performed by chemical absorption with amines, but the process is highly energy intensive and can generate emissions of harmful compounds to the atmosphere. Considering the emerging interest in carbon capture, mainly associated with increasing environmental concerns, there is much current effort to develop innovative solvents able to lower the energy and environmental impact of the acid gas removal processes. To be competitive, the new blends must show a CO2 uptake capacity comparable to the one of the traditional MEA benchmark solution. In this work, a review of the state of the art of attractive solvents alternative to the traditional MEA amine blend for acid gas removal is presented. These novel solvents are classified into three main classes: biphasic blends—involving the formation of two liquid phases, water-lean solvents and green solvents. For each solvent, the peculiar features, the level of technological development and the main expected pros and cons are discussed. At the end, a summary on the most promising perspectives and on the major limitations is provided.
