Recyclability and reusability of the solvents
Solvents are widely used in the chemical industries, often for the separation or purification process or the production of chemicals. However, the usage of solvents has also been greatly reduced due to the environmental concerns as well as the aim in achieving a greener chemistry. Thus, it is extrem...
