Industrial chemistry Sustainability

In the 20 years since the Brunddand report, great developments have taken place in industries toward sustainable practices. As a case in point, the problem of acid rain, an issue of concern in 1987, has improved to a large extent, thanks to catalytic pollution abatement both in stationary and automotive emissions. Catalysis for Green Chemistry and Engineering will continue to have a cracial role in improving the environmental performance of industry [25-27]. Nowadays, catalytic procedures are often implemented according to the green chemistry... [Pg.147]

Transition metal-catalyzed conversion of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value organic compounds is a very important process in synthetic organic chemistry, industrial chemistry and green or sustainable chemistry [1], Among the transition metals, ruthenium shows very characteristic catalytic performance. [Pg.277]

The F -Factory is not only a crucial step and a prerequisite for successful and competitive future processes in Europe and worldw ide, but is also the basis to implementing a new sustainable industrial chemistry. A major objective w ill be a substantial drop in capital expenditure for new plant and/or for retrofit of high-performance intensified devices into existing infrastructure. [Pg.7]

The above few examples (more are discussed later in this book) show that a very rapid change in priorities, methodologies and issues has occurred in chemistry over the last few years, driven by the fast evolving socio-economical context. There is thus the need to re-consider chemistry in the light of these changes, in addition to the motivations discussed before, for example, to re-address the topic from the point of view of sustainable industrial chemistry, the aim of this book. The present book... [Pg.10]

Although recently, various books have been published on green catalysis [12-16], often also with focus on catalysis, we consider this further book necessary focused in particular on highlighting the new vision for sustainable industrial chemistry, but complemented by a series of industrial examples that could be used either for educational purposes or as case histories. [Pg.11]

In addition, we may observe that the principles for green chemistry (see later) are of general validity, but their implementation was often questionable and/or with limited impact. We note, for example, that no relationship could be seen between the growing of publications on green chemistry (Figure 1.1.) and public perception of importance of chemistry (Figure 1.3). This is more evidence as to why a further step is necessary, for example, to pass from green to sustainable industrial chemistry. [Pg.13]

As mentioned before, scaling-down chemical processes and making them modular is an essential element for a new vision of sustainable industrial chemistry. [Pg.21]

Phosgene substitution is thus an emblematic case for sustainable industrial chemistry and how this question should be considered in view of a rational risk assessment more than on generic principles. Phosgene is still central to the... [Pg.34]

However, global competiveness and market should be considered. This is the real barrier for a more sustainable industrial chemistry. Therefore, the real step forward could derive only when the product value of chemical compounds also includes components related to the process of production, its impact on environment and safety of operations. We live in a global world, not only economically but also environmentally, where the impact of industrial production and human activities is no longer on a local scale. The value of products should thus not be related only to the local cost of production, which hides part of the effective costs (for the environment, for example, or for society, when risk is too high). It is thus necessary to adopt transparent procedures where cost is not only determined from the market but also includes the production procedures. This concept of traceability of chemical products is one of the concepts around which the new REACH legislation was built. The next section discusses in more detail this legislation, because it is an important component for the sustainability of chemistry and industrial chemical production not only inside Europe. [Pg.36]
