Green Chemistry: Green chemical principles
Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry, is an area of chemistry and chemical engineering focused on the design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. Green chemical principles involves prevention, atom economy, less hazardous chemical syntheses, designing safer chemicals, chemical products should be designed to affect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity, safer solvents and auxiliaries, energy efficiency by design, use of renewable feedstocks, reduce derivatives, catalysis, design for degradation, real-time analysis for pollution prevention, inherently safer chemistry for accident prevention.
- Waste prevention instead of remediation
- Atom economy or efficiency
- Use of less hazardous and toxic chemicals
- Safer products by design
- Innocuous solvents and auxiliaries
- Energy efficiency by design
- Preferred use of renewable raw materials
- Catalytic rather than stoichiometric reagents
- Design products to undergo degradation in the environment
- Analytical methodologies for pollution prevention
