Abstract

Posljednjih godina globalna ekonomska kriza, rastuće cijene hrane i energije te povećana svijest o utjecaju čovjeka na okoliš potaknuli su razvoj koncepta zelene ekonomije. U razdoblju od 2010. do 2050. godine ključni ciljevi Europske Unije vezani su uz očuvanje okoliša. U mnogim industrijskim procesima primjenjuje se velika količina hlapljivih i zapaljivih organskih otapala koja se dobivaju iz neobnovljivih sirovina te stoga njihova primjena čini značajan dio ekoloških i ekonomskih značajki procesa. Tijekom proteklog desetljeća prirodna eutektička se otapala intenzivno istražuju kao zamjena za organska otapala. Zelena svojstva ovih otapala su neznatna hlapljivost (smanjenje onečišćenja zraka), nezapaljivost (sigurnost procesa) te velika toplinska, kemijska i elektrokemijska stabilnost (mogućnost recikliranja i višestruke upotrebe). Svrha ovog rada je sumirati znanstvenu literaturu i istaknuti dosad najvažnije spoznaje o prirodnim eutektičim otapalima i njihovoj primjeni u ekstrakciji i biokatalizi.

Abstract (english)

In recent years, the global economic crisis, rising prices of food, energy and increasing awareness of human impact on the enviroment encouraged the development of the concept of green economy. In the period from 2010 to 2050, the key objectives of the European Union are related to environmental protection. Many industrial processes use large amounts of volatile and flammable organic solvents derived from non-renawable raw materials and therefore their application makes up a significant part of the environmental and economic characteristics of the process. Over the past decade, eutectic solvents have been intensively explored as a substitute for organic solvents. The green properties of these solvents are low volatility (reduction of air pollution), non-flammability (safety) and high thermal, chemical and electrochemical stability (recyclability and reusability). The purpose of this paper is to summarize the scientific literature and highlight the most important findings so far on naural deep eutectic solvents and their application in extraction and biocatalysis.
