Recent advances have focused on improving the efficiency and sustainability of solvent recovery:
- Green Solvents: The use of environmentally friendly solvents that are easier to recover and less harmful to the environment. - Advanced Membranes: Development of more selective and durable membranes for solvent separation. - Integrated Processes: Combining solvent recovery with other unit operations to enhance overall process efficiency. - Catalytic Distillation: Integrating catalysis with distillation to simultaneously achieve reaction and separation, reducing energy consumption.
