Abstract

Many issues encountered in green chemistry have to do with the solvent. This is usually by far the most abundant component of the mixture and determines the course of the reaction through its physical characteristics as well as the separation and the purification of the end product, the recovery of the catalyst and its own recovery and reuse or disposal. The best choice is discussed.
