Recycling of Catalysts from Surfactant Systems
Surfactant systems belong to the green solvents and can be used as reaction media for very different stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. The possibilities to separate catalysts and products afterward are very diverse. This overview article illustrates the different possibilities, with selected examples. There is no general separation concept, but the separation method has to be chosen according to the selected reaction system.
