Vor Memmo waren meine Notizen überall in PDFs verstreut. Jetzt sammelt ein Arbeitsbereich alles an einem Ort – ich sehe genau, was noch zu lernen ist.
Everyone is becoming more environmentally conscious and therefore, chemical processes are being developed with their environmental burden in mind. This also means that more traditional chemical methods are being replaced with new innovations and this includes new solvents. Solvents are everywhere, but how necessary are they? They are used in most areas including synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical production and processing, the food and flavour industry and the materials and coatings sectors. However, the principles of green chemistry guide us to use less of them, or to use safer, more environmentally friendly solvents if they are essential. Therefore, we should always ask ourselves, do we really need a solvent?
Green chemistry, as a relatively new sub-discipline, is a rapidly growing field of research. Alternative solvents - including supercritical fluids and room temperature ionic liquids - form a significant portion of research in green chemistry. This is in part due to the hazards of many conventional solvents (e.g. toxicity and flammability) and the significant contribution that solvents make to the waste generated in many chemical processes. Solvents are important in analytical chemistry, product purification, extraction and separation technologies, and also in the modification of materials. Therefore, in order to make chemistry more sustainable in these fields, a knowledge of alternative, greener solvents is important.
This book, which is part of a green chemistry series, uses examples that tie in with the 12 principles of green chemistry e.g. atom efficient reactions in benign solvents and processing of renewable chemicals/materials in green solvents. Readers get an overview of the many different kinds of solvents, written in such a way to make the book appropriate to newcomers to the field and prepare them for the 'green choices' available. The book also removes some of the mystique associated with 'alternative solvent' choices and includes information on solvents in different fields of chemistry such as analytical and materials chemistry in addition to catalysis and synthesis. The latest research developments, not covered elsewhere, are included such as switchable solvents and biosolvents. Also, some important areas that are often overlooked are described such as naturally sourced solvents (including ethanol and ethyl lactate) and liquid polymers (including poly(ethyleneglycol) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)). As well as these additional alternative solvents being included, the book takes a more general approach to solvents, not just focusing on the use of solvents in synthetic chemistry. Applications of solvents in areas such as analysis are overviewed in addition to the more widely recognised uses of alternative solvents in organic synthesis. Unfortunately, as the book shows, there is no universal green solvent and readers must ascertain their best options based on prior chemistry, cost, environmental benefits and other factors. It is important to try and minimize the number of solvent changes in a chemical process and therefore, the importance of solvents in product purification, extraction and separation technologies are highlighted.
The book is aimed at newcomers to the field whether research students beginning investigations towards their thesis or industrial researchers curious to find out if an alternative solvent would be suitable in their work.

Memmos Zusammenfassungen sind Gold wert vor Prüfungen. Ich muss nicht zwei Wochen vorher 800 Seiten neu lesen – nur die wichtigsten Teile.
Der KI-Chat hat mich schon mehr als einmal am Abend vor einer Prüfung gerettet. Ich frage einfach so lange, bis ich es kapiere – ohne auf eine Antwort in einer Lerngruppe warten zu müssen.
Die Quizzes treffen genau das, was ich wissen muss. Memmo merkt sich, wo ich Schwierigkeiten habe – so übe ich nur das, was sich lohnt.
Lernkarten mit Spaced Repetition sind Magie. Memmo weiß, wann ich etwas vergessen könnte und zeigt es mir wieder.
Die KI-Podcasts sind mein Favorit. Ich höre sie auf dem Weg zur Uni und bekomme eine Wiederholung, ohne am Computer sitzen zu müssen.
