This creates goodwill for the company, something that is difficult to quantify but undoubtedly important. [Pg.4]

Preview This section introduces the fundamental tenets of green chemistry and discusses how these principles can be used in the college chemistry curriculum. [Pg.13]

Man shapes himself through decisions that shape his environment. [Pg.13]

Approximately 25 g CaO (lime) was used in a synthesis on an occasional basis. To save money, CaO was purchased in bottles containing 500 g. A researcher failed to tighten the lid adequately after removing 25 g, water vapor entered the bottle, reacted exothermically with the CaO, and the bottle broke. Some of the reacted material was hard as a brick and much of the unreacted CaO scattered widely as a fine powder. Several hundred grams of CaO was unusable and was a mess to clean up amidst broken glass. [Pg.13]

What lessons can be learned from this incident [Pg.13]

In 1998 Green Chemistry Theory and Practice s was pubhshed, introducing the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry that characterize the main features of green chemistry (see Section 1.3.4 for more information about these principles). Application of these twelve principles leads to the following desirable objectives in chemical reactions and processes [Pg.13]
