The Effects of Industrial Solvents in the Environment

Environmental contamination and the contribution of chemical reactions to these contaminants have led the researchers to develop non-polluting chemical methods. Today, refineries release millions of pounds of airborne pollutants that pose a serious risk to human health and the environment and the quality of life of the industrial societies adjacent persons is seriously damaged. Solvents are an important part of the environmental performance of processes in the chemical industry. In order to reduce pollutants in the environment, reduce waste from chemical reactions, toxic solvents, hazardous and flammable, the green solvent idea by minimizing the environmental effects of the use of solvents and the replacement of organic solvents in the production of materials Chemical is considered. Green chemistry has the potential to prevent or reduce pollution, and plays an important role in achieving sustainable development. Due to the importance of the subject and in keeping with the technologies of the day, researchers have succeeded in making ionic liquids green Solvents and so on. Ionic liquids are a new category of solvents that can be used in a wide range of industries. Low vapor pressure, non-toxicity and non-flammability of them can be considered as their strengths. Today, using these fluids that are easily recyclable and reused, It can be of great help to the environment and human health. There is a comprehensive framework for environmental assessment of the solvent effects in chemical production, which also covers health and safety issues. Today, green chemistry-based technology is considered as a new approach, which this paper examines the most important ways of developing green solvents
