“…Emerging organic solvents were explored for membrane production and the obtained preliminary results have shown as their use can really benefit the innovation sector [ 28 ]. Among them, methyl-5-(dimethylamino)-2-methyl-5-oxopentanoate (Polarclean) [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ] Cyrene⢠[ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], dimethyl isosorbide [ 39 ], triethyl phosphate [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ], diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate [ 45 ], glycerol triacetate (triacetin) [ 46 ], acetyl tributyl citrate [ 47 ], triethylene glycol diacetate [ 48 ], acetyl triethyl citrate [ 47 ], triethyl citrate [ 47 ] were proposed as non-toxic solvents for poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane production through phase inversion. Carner et al [ 38 ] reported the use of several greener solvents, including ethyl acetate, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-methylTHF) and Cyrene⢠for the preparation of polymer inclusion membranes.…”
