Chemistry Challenge

Green Chemistry is the utilization of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical processes. This non-regulatory approach for pollution prevention occupies a pivotal position in the management of hazardous substances and has been quite successful as evidenced, for example, in the United States by the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. ...

I think it might be useful to first review some of the more important chemistry challenges and achievements in the development of the nuclear power industry up to the present time. Then I will indicate where the chemical research and development effort will be most active in the future and what the needs of the industry may be for chemists and chemical engineers. 

Results—Two Georgia Tech faculty members who have collaborated for more than 15 years on sustainable chemical processes are among the winners of 2004 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. Other examples of results could be published journal articles or recognition from the scientific community.

Most isocyanates are reacted with polyols to form polyurethanes. A significant green chemistry challenge is to manufacture commercially important polyurethanes in an environmentally and economically friendly manner. A promising new class of hybrid non-isocyanate polyurethanes (HNIPUs) eliminates the use of isocyanates and offers alternatives that are potentially safer than conventional polyurethanes [33]. HNIPUs are manufactured by reacting oligomeric cyclocarbonates with aliphatic amines (Scheme 5.1).
