Chemistry sustainable

In February 2006, The International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) launched the Responsible Care Global Charter and the Global Product Strategy (GPS), marking a renewal of the chemical industry s former commitment.

Nowadays biocatalysis is a well-assessed methodology that has moved from the original status of academic curiosity to become a widely exploited technique for preparative-scale reactions, up to the point that the so-called industrial biotechnology (to which biocatalysis contributes to the most extent) is one of the three pillars of the modern sustainable chemistry.

Photocatalysis essentially consists in the catalysis exerted by materials (semiconductors) under irradiation of light at an appropriate wavelength. It is therefore an essential part of the sustainable chemistry strategy. Since many good literature reviews are available that explain recent results in understanding the processes involved in photocatalysis [1-5], only the fundamental concepts will be considered here. 

All the applications of photocatalysis have one common point they can help in obtaining processes that obey the requirements of green chemistry. In fact, many of the principles of sustainable chemistry are applied to photoinduced transformations in all areas of application [18]. The major achievement of photocatalysis is the use of catalysis and light, which are two of the pillars of sustainable chemistry.

Within the broad framework of sustainable development, we should strive to maximize resource efficiency through activities such as energy and nonrenewable resource conservation, risk minimization, pollution prevention, minimization of waste at all stages of a product life-cycle, and the development of products that are durable and can be re-used and recycled. Sustainable chemistry strives to accomplish these ends through the design, manufacture and use of efficient and effective, more environmentally benign chemical products and processes".

Simultaneous to the understanding of some basics of hydrothermal carbonization using pure carbohydrate models, the synthesis of hydrothermal carbon materials using raw biomass was continued. It has been analyzed whether complex biomass - hy-drothermally carbonized - can also be directed to complex structural motifs with distinct surface polarities. Ideally, for this purpose one can use the structures and functionalization components already included in the biomass. We specifically selected waste biomass for material synthesis, starting products which are known to be hard to use otherwise, rich in ternary components, and applied different HTC conditions [29]. That way, one can avoid the food-raw materials competition, a prerequisite we regard as crucial for the development of a fully sustainable chemistry. 

Quill was founded in April 1999 as an industrial consortium, with members from all sectors of the chemical industry. It is based on the well-proven industry/uni-versity cooperative research center (lUCRC) concept developed by the U.S. National Science Foundation and is only the second lUCRC in Europe. There were 17 founding industrial members of the Quill consortium, and the current membership includes (listed alphabetically) bp. Chevron, Cytec, DuPont, Eastman Chemicals, ICI, Invista, Merck, Novartis, Procter and Gamble, SACHEM, SASOL, Shell, Strata, and UOP. Research carried out between QUB and individual companies, or by QUILL itself, has generated more than 20 patent applications, many of which have now been published, from as diverse a range of industries as BNFL, BP Chemicals, Cytec, ICI, Quest International, and Uni-chema Chemie BV. In a recent report in Nature, the need for collaboration between government, industry, and academic institutions to form sustainable chemistry centers was stressed as vital in order to rethink traditional chemistry processes to be not only beneficial to the environment but also to make economic sense for industry. Quill, under the codirection of Professors Kenneth R. Seddon and Jim Swindall OBE, is one of these chemistry centers, and is the first (and...

Sustainable chemistry on the basis of renewable raw materials essentially refers to the regenerative raw material basis of chemicals in relation to petrochemistry as is prevalent today. 

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. 

Innovation is also driven by state-promoted R D programmes. An emphatic reorientation of research support in accordance with guiding principles such as intrinsic safety of products , chemicals of low spatial range or sustainable chemistry may create an impetus for innovation efforts in the industry.

Oxidation as a process to transform biomass into value-added chemicals is a key one. Here, we focus on oxidations using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, with the aim of illustrating selected interesting reactions that could be important in the efforts to develop sustainable chemistry since they only require abundant bio-resources as reactants and have water as the only, or at least the main, byproduct.

Given that end-of-pipe approaches cannot be considered long-term solutions, it is profitable to shift the focus to beginning-of-pipe approaches, that is, the molecules of APIs themselves. With the advent of green and sustainable chemistry, and more recently sustainable pharmacy, the idea of obtaining utility out of the whole life-cycle of products and of molecules is advocated [80-83].
