The knowledge of green chemistry is instrumental in reducing the harmful and toxicity of the environment. The current environment demands that conventionally used petrochemical solvents should be replaced with the recently developed less harmful and less toxic green solvents. The potential applications of green chemical as solvents are required to study based on the green chemistry principles and the separation of solvents. In this review paper, the application of green chemicals was described for five green solvents such as cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), propylene carbonate, 1,3-propanediol, and ethyl lactate. The replacement study of conventional petrochemical solvents with these green solvents was discussed here. Based on the comparative studies, the green chemicals were found to be high potential solvents to replaced tetrahydrofuran (THF), dichloromethane (DCM), 1,4-dioxane, and diethyl ether in chemical industry.

绿色化学知识有助于减少环境的有害影响。当前环境要求用最近开发的危害较小和毒性较小的绿色溶剂代替常规使用的石油化学溶剂。基于绿色化学原理和溶剂分离，需要研究绿色化学作为溶剂的潜在应用。在这篇综述文章中，介绍了绿色化学物质在五种绿色溶剂中的应用，例如环戊基甲基醚（CPME），2-甲基四氢呋喃（2-MeTHF），碳酸亚丙酯，1,3-丙二醇和乳酸乙酯。本文讨论了用这些绿色溶剂替代常规石化溶剂的研究。根据比较研究，
