GREEN CHEMISTRY DEFINITION Green Chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products . GREEN CHEMISTRY IS ABOUT Waste Minimisation at Source Use of Catalysts in place of Reagents Using Non-Toxic Reagents Use of Renewable Resources Improved Atom Efficiency Use of Solvent Free or Recyclable Environmentally Benign Solvent systems Green Chemistry Is About... Why do we need Green Chemistry ? Chemistry is undeniably a very prominent part of our daily lives. Chemical developments also bring new environmental problems and harmful unexpected side effects, which result in the need for ‘greener’ chemical products. A famous example is the pesticide DDT. Green chemistry looks at pollution prevention on the molecular scale and is an extremely important area of Chemistry due to the importance of Chemistry in our world today and the implications it can show on our environment. The Green Chemistry program supports the invention of more environmentally friendly chemical processes which reduce or even eliminate the generation of hazardous substances. This program works very closely with the twelve principles of Green Chemistry. The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry (1-6) The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry (7-12) “It is better to prevent waste than to treat or cleanup waste after it is formed” “The use of auxiliary substances (e.g. solvents,separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessarywherever possible, and innocuous when used” “Energy requirements should be recognized for their environmental impacts and should be minimized.Synthetic methods should be conducted at ambientpressure and temperature” “A raw material of feedstock should be renewablerather than depleting wherever technically and
