Abstract

Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents (HDESs) have found application in water purification in recent years. The extent of their stability in aqueous media determines whether they are suitable materials for water purification or they end up constituting greater pollution load to the water they are to purify. This work sought to prepare HDESs from a monoterpene (menthol), and three long chain organic acids (octanoic acid, decanoic acid, and dodecanoic acid). The physicochemical characteristics of the prepared HDESs were investigated. Thereafter, their moisture absorption capacity and stability in aqueous medium was determined to ascertain whether they are actually hydrophobic as predicted
