Green Solvents in Thin-Layer Chromatography

Green Solvents I

Abstract

In this chapter green solvents used in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) are discussed in detail. These green solvents eradicate or minimize the use of volatile organic solvents and protect the environment from further deterioration. The efforts made by chromatographers in this direction during the last 6 years (2005–2010) have been summarized in tabular form by encapsulating the use of green solvents (water, ethyl acetate, surfactants, n-butyl alcohol, n-butyl acetate, and ethylene glycol) as mobile phase in TLC analysis of different groups of organic and inorganic compounds. It is hoped that the contents of this chapter will encourage the working chromatographers to use safer alternative eluents in various combinations to achieve green analytical separations.
