Biomass, as the most abundant and renewable organic carbon source, can be upgraded into various value-added platform molecules. To implement more sustainable and economic catalytic biomass valorization, reusable heterogeneous catalysts would be one of the preferable choices. In this work, a series of phosphotungstic acid-based solid hybrids were produced by assembly of phosphotungstic acid with different pyridines using a facile solvothermal method. The obtained 3- phenylpyridine-phosphotungstate hybrid displayed superior catalytic performance in the upgrade of fructose to methyl levulinate with 71.2% yield and 83.2% fructose conversion at 140 ºC for 8 h in methanol, a bio-based and environmentally friendly solvent, which was probably due to its relatively large pore size and high hydrophobicity. This low-cost and eco-friendly catalytic process could be simply operated in a single pot without cumbersome separation steps. In addition, the 3- phenylpyridine-phosphotungstate catalyst was able to be reused for four times with little deactivation.

A green and environmental–friendly method for the removal of the hazardous bromothymol blue from aqueous solution was considered applying a hydrophilic, biocompatible and biodegradable natural sorbent of Latvian sphagnum peat moss, applying shaking-dispersive solid-phase extraction. First, the influence of shaking speed was evaluated at 300, 600, 900 U. Furthermore, the optimum conditions of dye-adsorption, such as pH, adsorption-equilibrium contact time, adsorbent mass, and adsorbate initial concentration were investigated. In addition, the adsorption equilibrium isotherms, thermodynamics, and kinetics were studied. Thus, the optimum removal of bromothymol blue was concluded at a shaking speed of 600 U. Regarding the dye adsorption at different pH, bromothymol blue showed two removal maxima at acidic (pH 2.5) and almost neutral (pH 7.5) media, reaching dye % removal of 80.8 and 88.2 %, respectively, in 120 min of adsorption equilibrium contact time. Moreover, the dye removal improved reasonably by increasing the concentration and the sphagnum dose. Additionally, the equilibrium isotherm plot correlated comparably to Langmuir's and Freundlich's models. Also, the adsorption kinetic study demonstrated a better correlation to pseudo-secondorder plot than to pseudo-first-order one. Finally, excellent reproducibility in % removal was demonstrated with RSD values of 2.2 and 2.7% at pH of 7.5 and 2.5, respectively.

Polyaniline supported palladium catalyst was applied in the reductive degradation of organic dyes such as Methylene Blue, Rhodamine B, and Methyl Orange in presence of sodium borohydride as an environmental-friendly approach. Role of pH, catalyst amount, and catalyst support were investigated thoroughly to achieve complete and efficient degradation within few minutes under ambient condition. Heterogeneous nature of the catalyst allowed easy recovery by centrifugation and the catalyst was recycled for five cycles with slightly reduced activity. Recovered catalyst was characterized by ICP-AES and TEM and a slight decrease in the activity of the catalyst was attributed to the agglomeration of the palladium nanoparticles.

Nowadays, Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) idea is of high importance, with impact on the rapid growth in the sample preparation area with special emphasis on sample preparation simplification, miniaturization and automation. Due to the fact that GAC is of high importance today, this study is focused on the evaluation of green sample preparation techniques for organic compounds. It is well known that sample preparation is considered a crucial part of analytical procedures, particularly in samples characterized by complex matrices composition. The parameter of “greenness” is as important as selectivity in order to avoid using harmful organic solvents in sustainable extraction techniques. These solvents can generate hazardous, toxic waste while consuming large resources volume, thus, developing new, eco-friendly and benign solvents which would meet technological and economic demands is perhaps the most popular aspects of Green Chemistry. Some examples of these “green” solvents are given in this work. In addition, several new miniaturized extraction techniques are described. Here you can highlight solid phase microextraction (SPME) and liquid phase microextraction (LPME). However, the best option would be to use direct methods of analysis, where sample preparation is not required. The given study also shows the possibilities and limitations of using Eco-Scale and GAPI tools for the assessment of the green character of selected analytical procedures. Both tools were applied to assess 9 different analytical procedures and both showed similar results presented in a different manner.
