Abstract:
As a new environmentally friendly separation technology, deep eutectic solvent based aqueous two-phase systems are extensively applied in various fields. Herein, we review recent advances in this field and highlight the possible directions of future developments. This article focuses on the effects of deep eutectic solvent and inorganic salts on the phase equilibrium, the microstructure of deep eutectic solvent based aqueous two-phase systems, the applications of deep eutectic solvent based aqueous two-phase systems in separation (proteins, biopolymers, saponins, and organic acids), and removal and recovery technologies for deep eutectic solvent from aqueous two-phase systems.
