The implementation of the Montreal Protocol, the Clean Air Act, and the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 has resulted in increased awareness of organic solvent use in chemical processing. The advances made in the search to find "green" replacements for traditional solvents are reviewed, with reference to solvent alternatives for cleaning, coatings, and chemical reaction and separation processes. The development of solvent databases and computational methods that aid in the selection and/or design of feasible or optimal environmentally benign solvent alternatives for specific applications is also discussed.
《蒙特利尔议定书》、《清洁空气法》以及1990年的《污染预防法》的实施,提高了人们对化学加工过程中有机溶剂使用的认识。本文回顾了在寻找传统溶剂的“绿色”替代品方面取得的进展,并提及了用于清洗、涂料以及化学反应和分离过程的溶剂替代品。同时还讨论了有助于为特定应用选择和/或设计可行或最佳环境友好型溶剂替代品的溶剂数据库和计算方法的发展情况。
