Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Alternatives for Liquid
This Perspectives article covers the most relevant current strategies aimed at reducing the environmental fingerprint caused by mobile phases in liquid chromatography. Modern stationary phases, such as columns packed with core–shell particles or stationary phases allowing high-temperature separations, are discussed. Mobile-phase additives creating secondary partitioning equilibria (micelle

Climate change: How to be more eco-friendly in everyday life
A landmark report by UN scientists has been described as a "code red for humanity", as it details grim realities such as rising sea levels, and more intense and frequent heatwaves. A recent survey
- Is DOP biodegradable?
- Furthermore, DOP is not readily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for extended periods, leading to potential contamination of soil and water sources. Efforts are underway to develop alternative plasticizers that offer comparable performance to DOP while posing fewer environmental and health risks.
- What is DOP plasticizer?
- DOP (Di-Octyl Phthalate) plasticizer is one of the most widely used plasticizers in the world, finding applications across various industries such as automotive, construction, packaging, and more. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of DOP plasticizer, including its properties, applications, and environmental considerations.
- What is green chemistry?
- As such, green chemistry broadly concerns the design and redesign of products and processes to reduce their impact on human health and the environment.
- What is DOP used for?
- PVC Products: DOP is primarily used as a plasticizer in the production of PVC products such as cables, pipes, flooring, and roofing membranes. It imparts flexibility, resilience, and resistance to heat and cold to these materials, making them suitable for diverse applications in the construction and automotive industries.
- What is the focus in green chemistry?
- The Focus in Green Chemistry provides students with the opportunity to emphasize green chemistry as part of any chemistry specialist or major program they are enrolled in.
- Is DOP soluble in water?
- DOP is a clear, colorless liquid with a slight odor. It is soluble in most organic solvents but has low solubility in water. The primary function of DOP is to increase the flexibility and durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymers by reducing intermolecular forces between polymer chains.
