Palmitic‐Acid‐Based Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents for the Extraction of Lower Alcohols from Aqueous Media: Liquid–Liquid Equilibria Measurements, Validation and Process Economics

Abstract A new, natural, hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (NADES) based on DL‐menthol and palmitic acid is adopted for the extraction of alcohols from aqueous phase. DL‐menthol is used as a hydrogen bond acceptor and palmitic acid, being a natural organic acid, as a hydrogen bond donor. The synthes...
