Addressing the urgent need for environmentally sustainable solutions in water remediation, particularly in tackling persistent emerging contaminants such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), antibiotics, this project main objective is to use novel green solvents, namely deep eutectic solvents (DESs) for the purification of wastewater. DESs have many advantageous characteristics, e.g. low volatility, non-flammability, fine-tunning, etc.
