Application of deep eutectic solvent extraction in eco-geological sample analysis
The development and utilization of innovative green solvents is currently a hot topic of re-search.Substituting conventional solvents with environment friendly alternatives in the pretreatment of ec-ological geological samples can effectively mitigate potential risks to both researchers and the environment.Deep eutectic solvents(DESs)have garnered increasing attention due to their biodegradability,minimal environmental impact,cost-effectiveness and facile synthesis,rendering them suitable for extraction and separation in eco-geological sample analysis.This paper comprehensively overviews the deep eutectic sol-vents(DESs)from the perspectives of its conceptual framework,preparation methodologies,and essential physicochemical properties.Additionally,it summarizes latest research advances on applying DES technol-ogy to water quality assessment,soil analysis,and biological sample characterization with the discussion of its prospects.As a new type of green solvent,DESs offers a promising alternative to replace conventional toxic solvents;however,it is crucial to address challenges related to high viscosity along with further in-vestigation in extraction mechanisms and integration with various detection techniques.
