Solvents are everywhere, but should they be They are used in most areas ineluding synthetie ehemistry, analytieal ehemistry, pharmaeeutieal produetion and proeessing, the food and flavour industry and the materials and eoatings sectors. But, the principles of green chemistry guide us to use less of them, or to use safer, more environmentally friendly solvents if they are essential. Therefore, we should always ask ourselves, do we really need a solvent Chapter 2 explains some of the challenges and successes in the field of solvent-free chemistry, and the answer becomes apparent not always ... 

Living outlined by the Enquete Commission Protection of Humanity and the Environment (cf. Enquete Commission 1997) or guiding principles at a medium level of implementation and operation, such as closed-loop material streams , bionics (nature as a model) or green chemistry and sustainable chemistiy . 

Sustainable chemistry ( Green Chemistry ) appears to require formahsation regarding products and processes in order to be capable of producing a response. The guiding principles of the energy and substance economy must be hnked. 

To be able to formulate objectives for this type of action requires the development of a guiding principle (Leitbild) or an agreement about an already predefined guiding principle. The chemistry of short ranges , intrinsically safe products , green chemistry or a non-toxic enviroiunent are representative guiding principles. 

As Anastas has pointed out, the guiding principle is the design of environmentally benign products and processes (benign by design) [4]. This concept is embodied in the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry [1, 4] which can be paraphrased as ... 

In conjunction with the American Chemical Society, the EPA has developed a set of 12 guiding principles for green chemistry [24]. These principles can be summarized as being concerned with ensuring that ... 

It is hoped that many schools will want to add green chemistry to their curricula. Sections of this book can be used in other courses or can be used by companies for in-house training. The large number of references makes the book a guide to the literature for anyone interested in a sustainable future. 

Paul Anastas and John Warner sketched the terrain for defining safer chemicals in 1999 with the publication of their concise and influential book. Green Chemistry Theory and Procf/ce. Their 12 principles of green chemistry provide a rough guide to safer chemicals... 

Green chemistry is an initiative that promotes the design and application of chemical products and processes that are compatible with human health and that preserve the environment. The founders of the initiative have developed a set of 12 principles to guide work in this area ...
