A selection guide of common solvents has been elaborated, based on a survey of publically available solvent selection guides. In order to rank less classical solvents, a set of Safety, Health and Environment criteria is proposed, aligned with the Global Harmonized System (GHS) and European regulations. A methodology based on a simple combination of these criteria gives an overall preliminary ranking of any solvent. This enables in particular a simplified greenness evaluation of bio-derived solvents.

• Aqueous organic solvent fractionation as means to improve lignin homogeneity and purity (2017, background): “…2015; Jiang et al., 2017; Li and McDonald, 2014; Ni, Y., Hu, 1995; Passoni et al., 2016; Ropponen et al., 2011) However, most of these solvents are classified as problematic or even hazardous (Prat et al., 2016) and therefore cannot be considered as green or safe options in lignin fractionation.”
