Estimation of the Critical Temperatures of Some More Deep Eutectic Solvents from Their Surface Tensions
The critical temperatures of two dozen deep eutectic solvents, for only some of which these have been estimated previously, were estimated from the temperature dependences of their surface tensions and densities available in the literature according to the Eötvös and the Guggenheim expressions
Extraction by Subcritical and Supercritical Water, Methanol, Ethanol and Their Mixtures
Hot, subcritical and supercritical water, methanol, ethanol and their binary mixtures have been employed to treat fuels (desulfurize coal and recover liquid fuels from coal and oil shales) and to extract valuable solutes from biomass. The properties of these solvents that are relevant to their extraction abilities are presented. Various extraction methods: accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE, but excluding supercritical carbon dioxide) with these solvents, including microwave- and ultrasound-assisted extraction, are dealt with. The extraction systems are extensively illustrated and discussed

The Entropy of Deep Eutectic Solvent Formation
The standard entropies S298°E of deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which are liquid binary mixtures of a hydrogen bond acceptor component and a hydrogen bod donor one, are calculated from their molecular volumes, derived from their densities or crystal structures. These values are compared with those of the components—pro-rated according to the DES composition—to obtain the standard entropies of DES formation ΔfS. These quantities are positive, due to the increased number and kinds of hydrogen bonds present in the DESs relative to those in the components. The ΔfS values are also compared with the freezing point depressions of the DESs ΔfusT/K, but no general conclusions on their mutual relationship could be drawn
