Green solvents like DES have gained tremendous attention and been employed for many applications, as industries are now geared toward adopting green materials technologies to contain the effects of climate change, environmental pollution, global warming. They found application use in enhanced oil recovery petroleum industry surface active materials, among others. However, there is a need be able select, screen, rank best performance DESs large combination HBA HBD capable forming that can perform (EOR), viz–viz, additional recovery. In this study, choline chloride (CHCL)-based DESs, most EOR, screened their ability reduce interfacial tension, adsorption capacities, enhancement. We innovate screening criterion using molecular descriptors obtained from interaction with species (rock, water, oil, brine) used reservoir. Our findings indicate correlation experimental properties calculated predict overall EOR performance. study contributes valuable insights into theoretically EOR.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are defined as artificial receptors due to their selectivity and specificity. Their advantageous properties compared biological alternatives have sparked interest among scientists, detailed in numerous review papers. Currently, there is significant attention on adhering the principles of green chemistry environmental protection. In this context, MIP research groups focused developing eco-friendly procedures. The application "greener" monomers reagents, along with utilization computational methodologies for design property analysis, two activities that align molecularly technology. This discusses preparation MIPs based non-acrylic/vinylic precursors, such alkoxysilanes, ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, bio-based molecules-specifically saccharides, biomolecules like proteins. It provides a brief introduction materials, aspects production, simulations. Following this, descriptions studied monomers, molecular simulation studies monomer-based MIPs, strategies presented. Finally, conclusions an outlook future directions analysis production materials pointed out. To best my knowledge, work first combine these principles.
