These alternative reactor technologies can be combined with Green Chemistry methods including, for example, catalytic membrane reactions and continuous flow supercritical fluid reactions. 

Experts in the field of risk assessment are, therefore, concluding that green chemistry methods, though initially motivated by environmental or sometimes economic concerns, also offer the important additional benefit of decreasing our exposure to the threats of terrorism. 

Green chemistry methods that help to reduce the total amount of cyanide and/or hydrogen cyanide produced, used, stored, and transported will concomitantly reduce vulnerability to terrorist attacks targeting the chemical sector. What follows are descriptions of some cases, where products or chemicals that conventionally require HCN in their synthesis have successfully reduced or replaced that reliance on HCN in favor of less hazardous alternatives. 

A green chemistry method of nitration uses dilute nitric acid and a catalyst of M0O3 and SIO2 at 140°C to give the same product.
