Soil microorganisms or other materials can decompose green solvents, which have a brief life span, and transform into low or even harmless substances. CD BioSciences-GreenChemisrty focuses on green technology and has a qualified green solvent research and development team, who specializes in providing bespoke green solvent manufacturing services thanks to advanced chemical production technology that is available worldwide.
Green solvents, also known as environmentally friendly solvents. As a rule, green solvents are those whose chemical bonds are liable to decompose into non-toxic or low-toxicity materials and have a short half-life, which can also include organisms found in soil. Green chemical solvents can be further classified into organic solvents and inorganic solvents based on their chemical structures. Among others, the substances that have garnered the greatest interest as green solvents, are water, supercritical fluids, and ionic liquids, as they are more environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safer than traditional solvents which tend to have volatility.
Green chemistry seeks to enhance the sustainability of both chemical production and chemical products. Based on the theory of green chemistry, green solvents should contain the following characteristics:
Green solvents are present in various industries, especially in the industrial sector where they are extremely widely used. According to statistics, the global green solvents market was valued at USD 5.26 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 10.17 billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of around 5.2% during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the fact that they are inherently biodegradable and the consequent high usage of eco-friendly paints and coatings. Also, green solvents emit fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making the use of such solvents more preferable.
CD BioSciences-GreenChemisrty is environmentally focused and committed to providing superior green chemistry services. We produce a vast array of green solvents that are both effective and environmentally safe as a result of our cutting-edge technology and skilled professional team.
By varying different combinations of cations and anions, we produce ionic liquids that meet clients' own needs. Among these, we offer direct synthesis and two-step synthesis methods for the production of ionic liquids.
Direct Synthesis
We synthesize ionic liquids in one step using acid-base neutralization reactions or quaternization reactions. In this process, no by-products are produced and the ionic liquids obtained are easily purified. An example is the production of tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids using acid-base neutralization.
Read MoreTwo-step Synthesis
In a two-step synthesis, we first prepare a halide salt containing the target cation by quaternization. Then the target anion is used to replace the halide ion or Lewis acid is added to obtain the target ionic liquid. For example, this method can be used for the production of chloroaluminate ionic liquids.

For example, our common direct mixing method involves heating an environmentally friendly mixture of hydrocarbons and oxidizers to a supercritical state.
Bio-based solvents are solvents made from renewable resources such as vegetable oils and cellulose. Our methods for producing bio-based solvents include, but are not limited to, the following:
Fermentation
Biotransformation using microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi) or enzymes to convert a specific substrate into a solvent.
Pyrolysis
Heating of biomass under anaerobic conditions to produce solvents.
Hydrothermal Liquefaction
Reaction of biomass and water under certain conditions, resulting in the conversion of some of the organic matter in the biomass into the target solvent.
Extraction
Extraction of natural solvents from biomass using existing environmentally friendly solvents.
