Beschreibung: Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are of particular interest for electrometallurgy processes, since intrinsically conductive and electrochemically stable in a wide range of potentials.

Ethaline, a DES composed of choline chloride (ChCl) as hydrogen bond acceptor and ethylene glycol (EG) as hydrogen bond donor in 1:2 molar proportions (Et 1:2), is commonly used in electrometallurgy thanks to its good transport properties.

A DES with a lower toxicity can be obtained by replacing EG by propylene glycol (PG), widely used in cosmetics and pharmacology, yielding a DES called Propeline. The present paper explores the potential of this lesser-known DES in the electrometallurgy of precious metals. Because changing the hydrogen bond donor leads to a modification in the DES bulk properties, the first part of this work deals with the determination of PG-based DESs’ density, viscosity, and conductivity, which are properties of interest for electrochemical processes. The influence of water and PG content is presented and values are compared to those of Ethaline. It appears that ChCl:PG in a molar ratio 1:3 (Pr 1:3) presents the best transport properties. The potentiality of this solvent for the electrometallurgy of precious metals is then discussed: electrochemical stability and electrochemical systems of Ag, Pd, and Au are compared in Pr 1:3 and Et 1:2.
