Abstract
Switchable solvents have excellent advantages over traditional
solvents including low volatility and flammability, reuse or
recycling, and benign to the environment. These attributes make
them an excellent candidate to be used in biorefinery for
fractionation, separation, and development of different products
with multiple functions. This chapter focuses primarily on the
use of different switchable solvents such as switchable polarity
solvents, switchable hydrophilicity solvents, and switchable
water in the biorefinery processes. This chapter also discusses
the concept of biorefinery briefly and ends with the future
perspective for utilization of switchable solvents in the
biorefinery.

1: Introduction
In the present century, human beings are facing numerous
challenges such as huge demand of supplies due to the ever-growing
world population, climatic changes as a result of rapid
industrialization, exhaustion of fossil fuel feedstocks, and, most
importantly, geopolitical apprehensions effecting supply of raw
materials across the globe. Moreover, concerns regarding the
environment pollution have led to an increase in the demand of shift
of global economy towards low cost, efficient, renewable, and
sustainable feedstock [1, 2]. It has been predicted that the industry in
coming decades will be heavily based on state of the art routes
derived from renewable raw materials and providing chemicals with
at least same or more innovative features than their petroleum-based
counterparts [3, 4].
However, the production of bio-based products from sustainable
resources poses certain challenges for an eco-based economy. The
most suitable approach is the use of renewable biomass feedstock to
provide a continuous supply chain that is not only the viable
sustainable option to substitute for fossil fuel resources but also a
source of organic compounds with a short span of life and infinite
supply. These attributes make them an attractive candidate for
research and development of biomass-based materials in a
sustainable way [5]. The concept of biorefinery is considered an
excellent opportunity to replace the petro-based materials as
biorefinery utilizes biomass as a cheap feedstock to produce
materials in both chemical as well as biological industries.
There is a growing research interest in the value of bio-based
materials derived from residual biomass. It is essential to focus on
the extraction, recovery, and/or synthesis of bio-based products for
industrial applications to implement sustainable approach in a
future bio-derived economy. The efficient and effective use of
biomass such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, proteins, lipids has
become attractive starting materials for the synthesis of various
chemicals and materials to replace the fossil fuel-derived materials
[6, 7].
These large-scale applications are evolving from innovative
approaches that are being designed to advance the biorefineries for
particular bio-derived feedstocks [5]. The focus of the biorefineries is
the extraction of valuable chemicals from the biomass to develop
food additives, pharmaceuticals, fragrances, biofuels, dyes, coating,
nutraceuticals, and other commodities [8–14]. In the synthesis and
extraction process, solvents are ubiquitous auxiliary substances and
play the most vital role in terms of their efficiency, cost, availability,
and mostly importantly environmental impact.
For the last two decades, research efforts of scientists have shifted
towards study of the harmful impacts of solvents utilized in various
industrial processes to produce diverse materials. Specifically, the
introduction of green chemistry 12 principles signified the
importance to diminish the hazards associated with human health,
environment, and safety due to the tremendous use of traditional
chemical processes [15, 16]. Similarly, in biorefinery various
solvents/reagent have been used during the extraction of valuable
components and production of materials [17, 18]. Thus, the progress
in the utilization of environmentally benign solvents is presently a
favorable choice in this rapid technological era, especially in
biorefineries. Green solvents are being used in biorefineries as they
have less harmful impacts on the health, safety, and environment as
well as short life cycle. Ionic liquids derived from bio-based
materials or natural eutectic solvents, supramolecular solvents,
supercritical substances, and switchable solvents are few examples
of greener solvents [19–22].
Amongst green solvents, switchable solvents, also called smart
solvents, are one of the suitable choices to replace the traditional
solvent systems. They have excellent ability to alter both their
physical and chemical properties reversibly under the influence of
external stimulus [23, 24]. For example, addition or removal of CO2
or a change in temperature results in the formation of switchable
solvent. The solvent's behavior can be switched by exposing them to
triggers such as light, gas, and heat and ultimately used them for
decontamination of solute in a separation process. They also
facilitate their reuse and thus reduce the generation of waste [22].
Each of the trigger has advantages, but their most important
characteristics are being environmentally benign and economically
feasible with a straightforward reversible mechanism [25–28]. So,
this chapter presents the existing switchable solvents used in the
industrial biomass processing applications within a biorefinery
context and highlights the concept of biorefinery.

2: Concept of biorefinery
International Energy Agency Bioenergy Task 42 defines biorefinery
and its most accepted definition in the scientific community. It states
biorefinery as a “sustainable processing of biomass into a spectrum
of marketable products (food, feed, materials, chemicals) and energy
(fuels, power, heat)” [29]. In other words, biorefinery concept is to
develop wide range of chemicals, materials, fuels at least similar or
superior in properties than petroleum-based materials at industrial
scale from biomass in a sustainable manner [30] as summarized in
Fig. 1. The main goal of the future biorefineries is to extract valuable
components that are present in the biomass and transform them into
the bio-derived materials, bioenergy, and other commercially viable
commodities. Most importantly, biorefineries only be feasible if the
extraction of chemicals from biomass and conversion efficiency into
other materials is exploited maximum using proper production
techniques [31].

"You would but hinder us here; go down and pray," cried a tar, all begrimed
with smoke.

"Yes, let us pray," re-echoed the voice of Mrs. Mayne, as she sank on her
knees in the cabin, her hands clasped, and her arms enfolding her daughter.

In that hour of terror and danger, the varied characters of those in that
crowded cabin showed in strange distinctness. Differences of rank and age
were quite forgotten—a common fear seemed to level all; while far more
marked than before grew the contrast between the foolish virgins and the
wise. Poor Jemima stood trembling in the recess, unconsciously trampling
under foot the plumed hat which had once been her pride. Mrs. Lowe was
almost mad with terror. Wringing her hands, and imploring those to save her
whose peril was as great as her own—wildly asking those who knew as little
as herself whether there were no hope of deliverance—she stood a fearful
picture of one who has lived for the world and self. What were then to her the
comforts or pleasures bought at the price of conscience! With what feelings
did she then recall warnings despised and duties neglected! Could all her
unrighteous gains—gains by petty fraud, by bold Sabbath-breaking—procure
her one moment's peace when she feared that, within an hour, she might be
standing before an angry God? No; those very gains were as fetters, as dead-
weights, to sink her soul down to destruction. "Your gold and silver is
cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat
your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped up treasure for the last days."

Mrs. Mayne was pale but calm. Her best treasure was safe where neither
storm nor fire could touch it. She knew that a sudden death is, to the Christian,
but a shorter passage home, a quicker entrance into glory. The grace which
she had sought for by prayer in time of safety, shone out brightly now in time
of danger, and she was able to sustain others by the light which cheered her
own trusting soul. Mrs. Mayne prayed aloud, and many in the cabin fervently
joined in her prayers.

"I can't pray, I can't pray!" cried Mrs. Lowe, sinking her face on her hands,
while her long, loose black hair streamed wildly over her shoulders. Then
suddenly changing her tone, and stretching out her arms, she exclaimed, "O
God! Spare me, spare me yet a while; I will lead a different life, I will turn from
my sins; mercy, mercy on a wretched sinner! Let not the door yet be shut;
save me, save me from this terrible death!"

Minnie clung round her mother; the greater the danger, the greater the fear,
the closer she clung! "We shall not be separated!" she gasped forth; and Mrs.
Mayne, bending down, whispered in her ear, "'And who shall separate us from
the love of Christ?' My precious one, He is with us now; He has power to
subdue the fire, or to bear us safe through it to glory."

It was a strange and awful scene, and strange and wild were the mingling
sounds that rose from the ship on fire. Shouting, shrieking, praying; the clank
of the pump incessantly at work, voices giving hurried commands, the
crackling of flame, the gurgle of water, the rushing of feet to and fro. Then—
oh, blessed hope!—can that sudden, sharp clatter be indeed that of rain,
pelting rain, against the window of the cabin, that dark window, which has only
been lightened now and then by a terrible gleam from the fire?

"Rain, blessed rain!" exclaimed Mrs. Mayne, starting up. "Rain, rain!" repeated
every joyful tongue; and then there was a momentary silence to listen to the
clattering drops, as thicker and faster they fell, as if in answer to the fervent
prayers that were rising from every heart. Surely never was shower more
welcome!

"Oh, God sends the rain!" exclaimed Minnie. "There's no red glare now to be
seen. It is pelting, it is pouring; it comes down like a stream!" And even as the
words were on her tongue, a loud, long, glad cheer from above gave welcome
tidings that the fire was subdued.

"Thank God, ladies, the danger is over," said the captain, at the door. He was
now, for the first time, able to leave his post-upon deck, to relieve the terrors of
his passengers below.

Then was there a strange revulsion of feeling amongst those who had lately
been almost convulsed with terror. Strangers embraced one another like
sisters, sobbing, laughing, congratulating each other; the passengers seemed
raised at once from the depth of misery to the height of rapture. This, also,
soon subsided, and it became but too evident that, with some, gratitude was
almost as short-lived as fear, and that God's warning made no more lasting
impression on the heart than the paddle-wheels on the water—creating a
violent agitation for a few minutes, leaving a whitened track for a brief space
longer, which, melting away from view, all became as it had been before.

Mrs. Lowe was very angry at the carelessness which had occasioned her
such a fright; she was angry with the captain, the sailors, the passengers; in
short, angry with every one but herself.

"I'll never set my foot in a steamer again! As if all the discomfort were not
enough to drive one out of one's wits, one is not left to sleep for a moment in
peace. Ah, tiresome child!" she exclaimed, almost fiercely, turning upon poor
Jemima, "What have you done! Trampled your new hat, crushed the feather to
bits!"

Jemima, who had by no means recovered from the shock of the alarm, made
no attempt to reply to her mother, but sat crying in the corner of her berth. Mrs.
Lowe, declaring that she would stay no longer to be stifled down below, made
her way up to the deck, though the first faint streak of dawn was but beginning
to flush the sky.

Minnie was on her mother's knee, peaceful, happy, thankful. From that dear
resting-place she looked upon the poor little girl, whom she had half envied on
the preceding evening, but whom she regarded now only with a feeling of pity.
Mrs. Mayne saw that the child's nerves had been severely shaken, and,
bending forward, she gently drew the weeping Jemima to her side.

"God has been very good to us; shall we not love Him, and thank Him?" said
the lady.

Jemima squeezed her hand in reply.

"And shall we not try to set our affections on things above, so that, trusting in
our Saviour God, our hearts may fear no evil?"

The tears were fast coursing one another down the pale cheeks of Jemima,
and Minnie, with an impulse of joy, raised her head from her mother's bosom,
and kissed her little companion.

This trifling act of kindness quite opened the heart of the girl. Jemima threw
her little arms round the neck of Minnie, and, burying her face on her shoulder,
sobbed forth, "Oh, where shall I get the grace, the oil for my lamp, that I may
never be so frightened, so miserable again, when I hear the midnight cry!"

Never had Mrs. Mayne and her daughter spent a holier or more peaceful hour
than that which followed, as in that narrow recess of the cabin, while the
morning sun rose over the sea, the lady spoke to a trembling inquirer of the
Saviour who died for sinners.

"Do you, my child, long for more grace to make you holy in life, and happy at
the hour of death? 'Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after
righteousness, saith the Lord, for they shall be filled.' It is the Spirit of God in
your soul that alone can make that soul holy. Kneel, and ask for it in the name
of the Saviour, who hath promised, 'Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' Sweet is His service, rich
its reward; pardon and peace, happiness and heaven, such are His gifts to His
children. The world and all within it must soon pass away; its pleasures, its
riches, its glory: for 'the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be
dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall
be burned up.' But is there anything in this to terrify the Christian? Oh, no! For
to him 'the day of the Lord' will be the day of joy, and thanksgiving, and
triumph. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be
caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.'"

Deep sank the words of Scripture into the hearts of the two little girls. Each in
her different path trimmed her lamp with the oil of grace, and the holy life of a
wise virgin waiting for the coming of her Lord.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph
1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner
of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party
distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this
agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and
expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO
REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,
you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity
that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the
Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the
Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any

indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur:
(a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b)
alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project
Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
