A: Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are considered a green alternative to hexane because they are naturally derived, low-cost, biodegradable, non-volatile, and non-toxic, making them safer for human health and the environment while minimizing air pollution. This aligns with green chemistry principles, offering a sustainable pathway for membrane production.
