Applications of green chemistry

Catalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are superior to stoichiometric reagents. 

Chemical products should be designed so that at the end of their function they do not persist in the enviromnent and break down into innocuous degradation products. 

Analytical methodologies need to be further developed to allow for real-time, in-process monitoring and control prior to the formation of hazardous substances. 

Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimize potential for chemical accidents, including releases, explosions, and fires. 

Green chemistry is increasingly seen as a powerful tool that researchers must use to evaluate the environmental impact of nanotechnology. As nanomaterials are developed, the environmental and human health impacts of both the products themselves and the processes to make them must be considered to ensure their long-term economic viability.

The application of green chemistry rules in the design of new analytical methods is the key to diminishing the adverse effects of analytical chemistry on the environment. The same ingenuity and innovation that were applied earlier to obtain excellent sensitivity, precision, and accuracy are now invoked to reduce or eliminate the application of hazardous substances in analysis.

The most common solvents in the organic laboratory are carbon-based such as toluene, chloroform, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, and various ethers and alcohols. None of these chemicals should be poured down a sink because they are mostly water-insoluble, toxic, and flammable, and in addition this is unlawful. Many of the solutes that will be dissolved in these solvents will also have varying degrees of toxicity and flammability that make them inappropriate for easy disposal. All of these features make organic chemistry a prime target for the application of green chemistry. 

In addition to industrial collaboration, the course also seeks to give the students an appreciation of technology transfer and intellectual property protection to further demonstrate the business case for the application of green chemistry. This can also assist students with making decisions about their future career paths ...
