Extraction solvent selection in environmental analysis.

A method for the prediction of a suitable solvent for the extraction of pesticides is outlined. The procedure is based on the Hildebrand solubility parameter, delta(t). The solubility parameter is broken down into three individual components, which are calculated by the addition of group contributions. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach pressurized fluid extraction was used to ext...

Relationship between exposure and environmental concentrations in organic solvent workplaces.

The correlation between the exposure concentration (ExpC) of workers and the environmental concentration (EnvC) in their workplaces were examined in 143 printing, painting, gluing, degreasing and other solvent workplaces manned by 535 workers of both sexes. ExpC was measured with carbon felt dosimeters, and EnvC was with grab sampling of air into poly-tetrafluoroethylene bags; both were followe...

The Solvent Selection framework: solvents for organic synthesis, separation processes and ionic-organic synthesis

This paper presents a systematic integrated framework for solvent selection and solvent design. The framework is divided into several modules, which can tackle specific problems in various solvent-based applications. In particular, three modules corresponding to the following solvent selection problems are presented: 1) solvent selection and design for organic synthesis, 2) solvent screening an...
