Green solvents are environmentally friendly chemical solvents that are used as a part of green chemistry. They came to prominence in 2015, when the United Nations defined a new sustainability-focused development plan based on 17 sustainable development goals, recognizing the need for green chemistry and green solvents for a more sustainable future.[1] Green solvents are developed as more environmentally friendly solvents, derived from the processing of agricultural crops or otherwise sustainable methods as alternatives to petrochemical solvents.
Classification
The following are qualified as green solvents, based on their production methods or on the raw materials from which they are produced:
Water
Water is not an organic solvent, as it contains no carbon atoms. It is a polar protic solvent due to its chemical structure. It is non-toxic and renewable. In living matter, many ions and proteins are dissolved in water. It is the cheapest and most abundant solvent for a large range of reactions and processes in industrial chemistry. There are cases where traditional organic solvents can be replaced by aqueous preparations.[2] Water-based coatings have largely replaced standard petroleum-based paints for the construction industry; however, solvent-based anti-corrosion paints remain among the most used today.
Supercritical fluids
Some substances that occur in the gas phase at ambient temperature and pressure can act as solvents if elevated to temperatures and pressures above their critical point. At this point, gas and liquid states exist in a single phase with properties intermediate between liquid and gas, including the mobility of gas and the dissolving power of liquid: a supercritical fluid.
- Supercritical water (SCW) is obtained at a temperature of 374.2 °C and a pressure of 22.05 MPa.[3] It behaves as a dense gas with a dissolving power equivalent to that of organic solvents of low polarity. However, the solubility of inorganic salts in SCW is radically reduced. SCW is used as a reaction medium, especially in oxidation processes for the destruction of toxic substances such as those found in industrial aqueous effluents. The use of supercritical water has two main technical challenges, namely corrosion and salt deposition.
- Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most commonly used supercritical fluid because of its relatively easy to reach conditions. Temperatures above 31 °C and pressures above 7.38 MPa are sufficient to obtain supercriticality,[4] at which point it behaves as a good nonpolar solvent.
Solvents derived from carbohydrates
- Ethanol is the second most used solvent after water. Thus, it is found used in toiletries, cosmetics, some cleaners and coatings. Studies show that simple alcohols such as methanol and ethanol are to be preferred environmentally, unlike formaldehyde or dioxane, indicating that methanol-water or ethanol-water mixtures are environmentally friendly compared to pure alcohol or propanol-water mixtures.
- Ethyl lactate, made from lactic acid obtained from corn starch, is notably used as a mixture with other solvents in some paint strippers and cleaners.[5] Ethyl lactate has replaced solvents such as toluene, acetone, and xylene in some applications.
- Bioethanol is made industrially by fermentation of sugars and starch, one of the oldest known chemical processes, and has been also produced from cellulose.
- Biobutanol (butyl alcohol, various isomers) is produced by fermentation of sugars. Isobutanol and tert-butanol, which are butanol isomers, can be used as solvents in paints.
- Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a specialty solvent that may be obtained from hemicellulose.
Solvents derived from lipids
Lipids (triglycerides) themselves can be used as solvents, but are mostly hydrolyzed to fatty acids and glycerol (glycerin). Fatty acids can be esterified with an alcohol to give fatty acid esters, e.g., FAMEs (fatty acid methyl esters) if the esterification is performed with methanol. Usually derived from natural gas or petroleum, the methanol used to produce FAMEs can also be obtained by other routes, including gasification of biomass and household hazardous waste. Glycerol from lipid hydrolysis can be used as a solvent in synthetic chemistry, as can some of its derivatives.[7]
Deep eutectic solvents
A mixture whose melting point is lower than that of the constituents is called an eutectic mixture; many solid substances mixed in this way become liquids that can be used as solvents, especially when the melting-point depression is very large, hence the term deep eutectic solvent (DES). One of the most commonly used substances to obtain DES is the ammonium salt choline chloride. Smith, Abbott, and Ryder report that a mixture of urea (melting point: 133 °C) and choline chloride (melting point: 302 °C) in a 2:1 molar ratio has a melting point of 12 °C.[1]
Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are also a research area relevant to green chemistry, being easy to produce from two low-cost and well-known ecotoxicity components, a hydrogen-bond acceptor, and a hydrogen-bond donor.[8]
Terpenes
Solvents in a diverse class of natural substances called terpenes are obtained by extraction from certain parts of plants. All terpenes are structurally presented as multiples of isoprene with the gross formula (C5H8)n.
- D-limonene, a monoterpene, is one of the best known solvents in this class, as is turpentine.
- D-limonene is extracted from citrus peels while turpentine is obtained from pine trees (sap, stump) and as a by-product of the Kraft paper-making process (Sell, 2006).[9]
- Turpentine is a mixture of terpenes whose composition varies according to its origin and production method. In Canada and the United States, a range of mass concentrations of 40 to 65% α-pinene, 20 to 35% β-pinene, and 2 to 20% d-limonene are found.[10]
- α-pinene can replace n-hexane for the extraction of vegetable oil, and as a substitute solvent for extracting molecules such as carotenoids used as food additives.[11]
Turpentine, formerly used as a solvent in organic coatings, is now largely replaced by petroleum hydrocarbons.[10] Nowadays, it is mainly used as a source of its constituents, including α-pinene and β-pinene.[12]
Ionic liquids
Ionic liquids are molten organic salts that are generally fluid at room temperature. Frequently used cationic liquids, include imidazolium, pyridinium, ammonium and phosphonium. Anionic liquids include halides, tetrafluoroborate, hexafluorophosphate, and nitrate. Bubalo et al. (2015) argue that ionic liquids are non-flammable, and chemically, electrochemically and thermally stable.[13] These properties allow for ionic liquids to be used as green solvents, as their low volatility limits VOC emissions compared to conventional solvents. The ecotoxicity and poor degradability of ionic liquids has been recognized in the past because the resources typically used for their production are non-renewable, as is the case for imidazole and halogenated alkanes (derived from petroleum). Ionic liquids produced from renewable and biodegradable materials have recently emerged, but their availability is low because of high production costs.[8]
Switchable solvents
Bubbling CO2 into water or an organic solvent results in changes to certain properties of the liquid such as its polarity, ionic strength, and hydrophilicity. This allows an organic solvent to form a homogeneous mixture with the otherwise immiscible water. This process is reversible, and was developed by Jessop et al. (2012) for potential uses in synthetic chemistry, extraction and separation of various substances. The degree of how green switchable solvents are is measured by the energy and material savings it provides; thus, one of the advantages of switchable solvents is the potential reuse of solvent and water in post-process applications.[14]
Solvents from waste materials
First-generation biorefineries exploit food-based substances such as starch and vegetable oils.[15] For example, corn grain is used to make ethanol. Second-generation biorefineries use residues or wastes generated by various industries as feedstock for the manufacture of their solvents. 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran, derived from lignocellulosic waste, would have the potential to replace tetrahydrofuran, toluene, DCM, and diethyl ether in some applications. Levulinic acid esters from the same source would have the potential to replace DCM in paint cleaners and strippers.
Used cooking oils can be used to produce FAMEs.[16] Glycerol, obtained as a byproduct of the synthesis of these, can in turn be used to produce various solvents such as 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol, usable as a solvent in the formulation of inks and cleaners.[17]
Fusel oil, an isomeric mixture of amyl alcohol, is a byproduct of ethanol production from sugars. Green solvents derived from fusel oil such as isoamyl acetate or isoamyl methyl carbonate could be obtained. When these green solvents are used to manufacture nail polishes, VOC emissions report a minimum reduction of 68% compared to the emissions caused by using traditional solvents.
Petrochemical solvents with green characteristics
Due to the high price of new sustainable solvents, in 2017, Clark et al. listed twenty-five solvents that are currently considered acceptable to replace hazardous solvents, even if they are derived from petrochemicals.[18]
These include propylene carbonate and dibasic esters (DBEs). Propylene carbonate and DBEs have been the subject of monographs on solvent substitution.[19][20] Propylene carbonate and two DBEs are considered green in the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Solvent Sustainability Guide, which is used in the pharmaceutical industry.[21] Propylene carbonate can be produced from renewable resources, but DBEs that have appeared on the market in recent years are obtained as by-products of the synthesis of polyamides, derived from petroleum. Other petrochemical solvents are variously referred to as green solvents, such as halogenated hydrocarbons like parachlorobenzotrifluoride, which has been used since the early 1990s in paints to replace smog-forming solvents.
Siloxanes are compounds known in industry in the form of polymers (silicones, R-SiO-R'), for their thermal stability and elastic and non-stick properties. The early 1990s saw the emergence of low molecular weight siloxanes (methylsiloxanes), which can be used as solvents in precision cleaning, replacing stratospheric ozone-depleting solvents.
A final category of petrochemical solvents that qualify as green involves polymeric solvents. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry defines the term "polymer solvent" as "a polymer that acts as a solvent for low-molecular weight compounds".[22] In industrial chemistry, polyethylene glycols (PEGs, H(OCH2CH2)nOH) are one of the most widely used polymeric solvent families.[23] PEGs, with molecular weights below 600 Da, are viscous liquids at room temperature, while heavier PEGs are waxy solids.
Soluble in water and readily biodegradable, liquid PEGs have the advantage of negligible volatility (< 0.01 mmHg or < 1.3 Pa at 20 °C).[24] PEGs are synthesized from ethylene glycol and ethylene oxide, both of which are petrochemical-derived molecules, though ethylene glycol from renewable sources (cellulose) is commercially available.[25]
Physical properties
The physical properties of solvents are important in identifying the solvent used according to the reaction conditions. In particular, their dissolution properties make it possible to assess the use of a particular solvent for a chemical reaction, such as an extraction or a washing. Evaporation is also important to consider, as it can be indicative of the potential volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
The following table shows selected properties of green solvents in each category:

Other categories of green solvent have additional properties that preclude their usage in various applications:
Deep eutectic solvents (DES)[47] have huge hydrogen bonds, leading them to have lower melting points. Some of them have lower melting points than 50 °C and they are investigated because they can be cheap, safe and useful in industries. Most of the DES have a higher density than water but its range is difficult to grasp as it depends on the components from which they are synthesized and their molecular arrangement and vacancies. For example, Octylammonium bromide/Decanoic acid (molar ratio of [1:2]) has a lower density compared to water of 0.8889 g.cm−3, up to 1.4851 g.cm−3 for Choline chloride/Trifluoroacetamine [1:2]. Their miscibility is also composition-dependent.
Fatty acid methyl esters[48][49][50] have been investigated and compared to fossil diesel. At 20 °C or 40 °C, those solvents have a lower density than water at 4 °C (temperature in which the water is the densest):
- [math]\displaystyle{ d_{4}^{40} }[/math]: from 0.9079 (acetate) to 0.8488 (arachidate);
- [math]\displaystyle{ d_{4}^{20} }[/math]: from 0.9338 (acetate) to 0.8663 (pentadecanoate).
Their kinematic viscosity depends if they are saturated or unsaturated or even the temperature. At 40 °C, for saturated FAMEs, it goes from 0.340 (acetate) to 6.39 (nonadecanoate), and for unsaturated FAMEs, it goes from 5.61 for the stearate to 7.21 for the erucate.
Their dielectric constant decreases as their alkyl chain gets longer. For example, acetate has a tiny alkyl chain and has a dielectric constant of ε40= 6.852 and ε40= 2.982 for the nonadecanoate.
The properties of switchable solvents[51][52] are caused by the strength of their conjugate acid's pKa and octanol-water partition coefficient ratio Kow. They must have a pKa above 9.5 to be protonated by carbonated water and also a log(Kow) between 1.2 and 2.5 to be switchable, otherwise they will be hydrophilic or hydrophobic. These properties depend on the volumetric ratio of the compound compared to water. For example, N,N,N′-Tributylpentanamidine is a switchable solvent, and for a volumetric ratio of compound to water of 2:1, it has a log(Kow)= 5.99, which is higher than 2.5.
Ionic liquids[53] with low melting points are associated with asymmetric cations, and liquids with high melting point are associated with symmetric cations. Additionally, if they have branched alkyl chains, they will have a higher melting point. They are more dense than water, ranging from 1.05 to 1.64 g·cm−3 at 20 °C and from 1.01 to 1.57 at 90 °C.
Applications
Some green solvents, in addition to being more sustainable, have been found to have more efficient physicochemical properties or reaction yields than when using traditional solvents. However, the results obtained are for the most part observations from experiments on particular green solvents and cannot be generalized. The effectiveness of a green solvent is quantified by calculating the "E factor", which is a ratio of waste materials to desired product produced through a process.
[math]\displaystyle{ E factor=\frac{\text{Mass of all waste materials}}{\text{Mass of desired product}} }[/math]
Organic synthesis
Green solvent efficiency has mainly been proven in extractions and separations in comparison to traditional solvents.[54]
- Supercritical CO2 is largely used in the food industry as an extraction solvent. Among other processes like flavoring agents, fragrances, essential oils, or lipid extraction from plants, sc-CO2 is a green substitute to dichloromethane in coffee decaffeination, avoiding the use of a hazardous solvent and additional synthesis steps. Sc-CO2 can also apply to polymerization reactions, specifically in PTFE formation to manipulate monomers safely and avoid explosive reactions of peroxide with dioxygen. Although the original process involves water, a green solvent itself, sc-CO2 allows less waste materials.[55]
- In deep eutectic solvents, observations report that the higher the solvent's hydrophobicity, the higher the extraction efficiency of neonicotinoids from aqueous solutions, although the exact trend has not been established yet.[56] Additionally, the creation of a biphasic system is easier to achieve. In 2015, several hydrophobic DES composed of highly hydrophobic hydrogen bond donors were reported, one of them being decanoic acid with a quaternary ammonium salt, and a fatty acid as a hydrogen bond acceptor.[47]
- The pharmaceutical industry intends to substitute their solvents for greener options, emphasized as solvent use in active substance synthesis is important, which aggrandizes solvents with a high boiling point. Solvent must generally be evaporated at the end of a chemical reaction, hence the insistence on low-boiling solvents in order to minimize the energy required for its removal by distillation.[57]
Industrial chemistry
- Ethyl lactate has uses in cleaning metal surfaces, removing greases, oils, adhesives and solid fuels. They are included in aqueous preparations used for industrial degreasing, coatings, adhesives and inks.
- Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) have been used as a reactive diluent in coatings for continuous metal strip coating (e.g., the interior coating of food cans),[58] reducing the amount of volatile solvent in this type of coating and lowering its overall toxicity.
- Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) mixtures with other green solvents are studied for their cleaning properties. As an example, the mixture of THFA with FAME and ethyl lactate has been patented as a paint stripper.[59]
- Ionic liquids particularly have applications in electrodeposition.[60] Their relevance as green solvents is further enhanced by the emergence of production methods based on renewable and biodegradable resources.[61]
Solvent manufacturers also provide industrial companies with databases to propose green alternative solvent mixtures to those originally used in industrial processes with similar efficiency and reaction yield. However, environmental and safety requirements are not always considered in these suggestions.[62]
Safety
The use of green solvents is increasingly preferred because of their lower environmental impact. These solvents still present dangers for human health as well as for the environment. However, for a number of green solvents, their impact is still unclear, or at least, not categorized yet.
Listed here is selected information from the safety data sheets of common green solvents:[63][64]

Solvents derived from carbohydrates
For ethanol, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, shortened ACGIH, advises a short-term exposure limit of 1000 ppm to avoid irritating the respiratory tract.[65]
The French National Agency for Food, Environmental, and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) has recommended a short-term occupational exposure limit value of 100 mg/m3 for butan-1-ol, a solvent used in paints, cleaners, and degreasers, in order to prevent irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes and upper airways. Since 1998, the ACGIH has suggested an 8 hour exposure limit value (ELV) of 20 ppm of butan-1-ol to prevent irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes.
Male rats exposed to THFA develop reproductive toxicity. Moreover, it has an impact on fetal and embryonic development in rats. The American Industrial Hygiene Association suggested an ELV of 2 ppm for THFA to prevent testicular degeneration in 1993 based on the No-observed-effect level of two subchronic investigations in rats and dogs
Deep eutectic solvents
DES components, according to Wazeer, Hayyan, and Hadj-Kali,[66] are typically non-toxic and biodegradable. According to Hayyan et al.,[67] the DES they investigated were more harmful to the small crustacean artemia than each of their individual components, which could be attributed to synergy. The abbreviation NADES refers to DES that contain only materials sourced from renewable resources. Compared to other DES, these would typically be less hazardous.
Legislation
Due to the recency of green solvent development, few laws related to their regulation have been developed beyond standard workplace safety precautions already in place, and laws that enforce the use of green solvents have not been widespread.
