Zaproszenie na wykład Profesora Abdullah AKDOĞAN z Pamukkale University: Green solvents for extraction techniques 06.06.2023 10:50

W imieniu Pana Dziekana zapraszamy Państwa studentów serdecznie zaprosić na wykład Profesora Abdullah AKDOĞAN z Pamukkale University, który przejdzie do Nas w ramach programu Erasmus + teaching Mobility. Wykład odbędzie się dnia 07/06/2023 w godz. 11.15 do 12.00 w aud II. Temat wykładu to Green solvents for extraction techniques. Poniżej przedstawiamy Państwu abstrakt: Solvents are frequently used by many industries including food, medicine, cosmetics, chemistry, and electronics, among others. These solutions, which are used for extraction, separation, purification and reaction in different processes, are mostly synthetic organic and inorganic solvents. These are overwhelmingly incompatible with the environment, do not biodegrade easily and are toxic. Due to their negative effects on the environment and health, safer, less harmful solvents that can be broken down naturally have started to emerge as viable alternatives. Many industries are trying to incorporate such solutions into their manufacturing processes to improve their environmental footprint.

One notable example of green technology are the so-called green solvents, such as subcritical water, supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents (DES). Their advantages include reduced or, in some cases, near-zero toxicity, renewable sourcing that typically also requires less energy, and relatively quick biodegradation in the natural environment. DESs, in particular, have been gaining popularity and are the focus of this presentation due to their malleable properties which can be tailored to specific applications, as well as their ease of preparation.

The topics addressed in this presentation are:

  • General information about green solvents
  • Introduction to DES
  • Preparation of DES
  • Optimization of DES parameters in extraction studies
  • Optimization of DES parameters in removal studies
  • Additional information of interest about Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) will be provided

 Zachęcamy gorąco Państwa do wysłuchania wykładu Pana Profesora.
