Certainly, this is a green chemical reaction with a 100% atom utility, which recovers the waste NO and O2 to produce a valuable fertilizer with the help of ammonia. 

From the studies covered in this chapter, it can be concluded that a completely green chemical process in the synthesis of this kind of material is still a challenge. Some protocols, despite using non-toxic precursors, are time- and/or energy-consuming processes or require the use of non-friendly and non-recyclable solvents. Reaction times in microwave-assisted reaction processes have shown to be shorter. On the other hand, the substitution of conventional solvents for chemical and thermally stable I Ls allowed the reutilization of the solvent and also provided control of the size and shape of NPs. 

To overcome health and environmental problems at the source, the chemical industry must develop cleaner chemical processes by the design of innovative and environmentally benign chemical reactions. Green chemistry offers the tools for this approach. ... 

Solvent use in chemistry is pervasive (Nelson, 1998). Probably one of the most critical components of a reaction or chemical process is the identity of the solvent(s) used. In the emerging area of green chemistry, careful reasoning must enter into the choice of solvents. Chemists use solvents for many reasons, but primarily they are used as reaction media, in separation/purification technologies and in cleaning technologies. 

The next milestone came with the description of the condensation reactions between 1,3- dicarbonyl compounds and alcohols, amines or thiol derivatives. This reaction was a great success in the search for simplicity as an efficient tool for green chemical processes, thanks to the reduction of the number of synthetic steps and... 

When titanium oxides are irradiated with UV light that is greater than the band-gap energy of the catalyst (about X < 380 nm), electrons (e ) and holes (h+) are produced in the conduction and valence bands, respectively. These electrons and holes have a high reductive potential and oxidative potential, respectively, which, together, cause catalytic reactions on the surfaces namely photocatalytic reactions are induced. Because of its similarity with the mechanism observed with photosynthesis in green plants, photocatalysis may also be referred to as artificial photosynthesis [1-4]. As will be introduced in a later section, there are no limits to the possibilities and applications of titanium oxide photocatalysts as environmentally harmonious catalysts and/or sustainable green chemical systems. ... 

Apart these cases, many other reactions have been investigated, including carbo-nylations, Heck reactions, vinyl substitutions, and hydrosylation. In general, based on available data, it is difficult to establish whether these studies could extend beyond the laboratory scale. However, as Eric Beckman has stressed, when reviewing the use of supercritical or near-critical carbon dioxide in green chemical syntheses [26], the role of these studies in demonstrating the extreme versatility of... 

The nature of nitrooleflns has little influence on the efficiency of this one-pot process, and other functionalities snch as cyano, ether, and chlorine can be preserved. The role of the nitro gronp is crncial in the reported process since its electron-withdrawing effect firstly helps the nncleophilic attack of the amino or hydroxyl fnnctionality to the alkene, then it allows a stabilized carbanion with the consequent formation of an intramolecnlar C-C bond (nitroaldol reaction) and, finally, favors the elimination of water (ElcB). Moreover, the nse of solvent-free conditions (SFC) in combination with heterogeneons catalyst represents one of the more powerful green chemical technology procednres. 

ILs are low melting point salts that represent an exciting new class of reaction solvents for catalysis. ILs are composed entirely from ions and possess negUgible vapour pressures and, with proper selection of the wide range of possible cations and anions, the solvent properties of ILs could be controlled. ILs have been accepted as a new green chemical revolution, which has excited both academia... 

Enzyme-catalyzed reactions based on such biphasic systems have been shown to be promising alternatives for developing green chemical processes because of their physical and chemical characteristics [9]. By combining these media with enzymes, the possibilities of carrying out integral green biocatalytic processes has been already demonstrated [10-12]. Such biphasic systems can be used for both the biotransformation and extraction of products simultaneously, even under extremely harsh conditions, because of the different miscibilities of ILs and SC-CO2.

Metabolism includes all of the chemical transformations that occur in living systems. A detailed discussion of metabolism is beyond the scope of this chapter and the reader is directed to other comprehensive resources (22). The lesson to impart to all students interested in green chemical design is that fundamental chemical reactions are the foundation of all of biotransformation. Addition reactions, conjugation reactions, substitutions and eliminations occur to chemicals found naturally inside living systems (biochemistry) and to those that are found external to living systems (xenobiotics) as well as in laboratory round-bottom flasks. Table III lists some of the more common biotransformation pathways.
