“…At the end of the reaction a fine homogeneous powder is obtained ( Jasim et al, 2020 ; Moin et al, 2020 ; Sadjadi and Koohestani, 2021a , 2021b ; Srivastava et al, 2021 ). The powdered substance is repeatedly washed with water and/or acetone, and, generally, it is also subjected to Soxhlet extraction with ethanol or acetone, and even to an additional washing with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution ( Kumar A. and Rao R., 2021 ; Sadjadi and Koohestani, 2021a , 2021b ; Suvarna et al, 2021 ). Water allows the removal of CD in excess and ethanol/acetone allows the elimination of the unreacted crosslinker and still other impurities such as phenol or imidazole, formed when DPC or CDI linkers are used, respectively.…”
