N2  - The increasing use of Ionic Liquids (ILs) and Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) for their eco-friendly properties and versatile applications has been tempered by recent findings exposing their sustainability limitations. As a response, a new type of DES called Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) has emerged, offering similar efficiency to ILs and DES but with improved environmental credentials. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NADES) based on Potassium Chloride (KCl) and glycerine. A eutectic mixture is achieved with a 1:8 molar ratio of KCl to glycerine at 70°C and 100 rpm. Thermophysical properties, including density, surface tension, viscosity, refractive index, and pH, are measured over a temperature range of 289.15 K to 333.15 K. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis confirmed the bonding between the Cl from KCl and -OH group from glycerine. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed thermal stability of up to 200°C for the NADES. The results demonstrated the potential of this newly developed KCl-based NADES as a sustainable alternative to Ionic Liquids (ILs), Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), and KCl salt in various applications. Further research is recommended to explore its efficacy in different fields. © 2023
