Sustain Chem Process (2016) 4:7 DOI 10.1186/s40508-016-0051-z REVIEW Open Access Tools and techniques for solvent selection: green solvent selection guides Fergal P. Byrne, Saimeng Jin, Giulia Paggiola, Tabitha H. M. Petchey, James H. Clark*, Thomas J. Farmer, Andrew J. Hunt, C. Robert McElroy and James Sherwood Abstract Driven by legislation and evolving attitudes towards environmental issues, establishing green solvents for extractions, separations, formulations and reaction chemistry has become an increasingly important area of research. Several general purpose solvent selection guides have now been published with the aim to reduce use of the most hazard- ous solvents.
