What Are Residual Solvents

In the world of solvents, the term “residual” may get thrown around. Residual solvents refer to the leftover chemicals in the solvent extraction process. Typically, solvents are used to extract compounds from different materials, but the solvents themselves can be used in various circumstances. In its current form, it is possible for this solvent waste to be reused while some of the material’s usefulness is still preserved. The distillation process can help to re-purify a solvent, which then allows it to be reused in future production methods. 

Aside from the technical side, there are various benefits to recycling solvents. Solvent recycling is innately superior to disposal due to…

Environmental Impacts of Solvents

While solvents such as hexane are useful, they are not the best for the environment. Oftentimes, solvent disposal leaves behind hazardous waste that is bad for the environment. Solvent recycling is a key way to mitigate this issue. Without recycling, waste can be subject to issues such as flammability, corrosivity, explosivity, and toxicity. This can be difficult to dispose of and reuse if producers are not familiar with solvent recycling.
