TL;DR: A detailed review of the current literature reveals the lack of predictive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms that govern the structure-property relationships in deep eutectic solvents, and highlights recent research efforts to elucidate the next steps needed to develop a fundamental framework needed for a deeper understanding.
Abstract: Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent components. These materials are promising for applications as inexpensive "designer" solvents exhibiting a host of tunable physicochemical properties. A detailed review of the current literature reveals the lack of predictive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms that govern the structure-property relationships in this class of solvents. Complex hydrogen bonding is postulated as the root cause of their melting point depressions and physicochemical properties; to understand these hydrogen bonded networks, it is imperative to study these systems as dynamic entities using both simulations and experiments. This review emphasizes recent research efforts in order to elucidate the next steps needed to develop a fundamental framework needed for a deeper understanding of DESs. It covers recent developments in DES research, frames outstanding scientific questions, and identifies promising research thrusts aligned with the advancement of the field toward predictive models and fundamental understanding of these solvents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development of pressure-swing distillation (PSD), including all of the main aspects related to thermodynamic analysis, Quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR), process design, process intensification, and dynamic control.
Abstract: Pressure-swing distillation (PSD) is widely used as an efficient method for separating pressure-sensitive azeotropic mixtures in industrial processes. Remarkably, PSD can achieve pure products without introducing a third component compared with extractive distillation and azeotropic distillation. Heat integration into PSD can save energy and reduce operating costs, thus relieving the continuous growth of energy consumption in the distillation industry. This review paper describes the development of this widely used distillation technique, including all of the main aspects related to thermodynamic analysis, Quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR), process design, process intensification, and dynamic control. Based on the foundation of research, further development of PSD is proposed for separating multi-component azeotropic mixtures and exploring the process design and dynamic control from QSPR, aiming at promoting the industrial application of this environmentally friendly and well-known separation technique from multi-scale analysis.
