Curriculum green laboratory

Although the green laboratory curriculum is presently most developed for the field of organic chemistry, there are also green experiments for the introductory and analytical chemistry laboratories. For nearly a decade, the... 

The majority of activity in incorporating green chemistry curriculum has been in the required laboratory for science majors. The next highest has been used in lecture courses, also required for science majors. Significant work has gone into integrating material into courses for non-majors as well. 

There are a number of options for faculty members to employ in bringing green chemistry into the curriculum. They can integrate green chemistry concepts into the classroom and laboratory, develop stand-alone courses, emphasize green chemistry in their research, or point students in the direction of extracurricular activities such as conferences and workshops. 

The book examines the scale-up of microwave-promoted chemistry and describes the various approaches and the current commercially available microwave reactors available for scale-up. It also discusses microwave heating as a tool for teaching in the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory. It explores curriculum, the broad range of reactions that can be performed, and the incorporation of green chemistry principles.
