    Lecture 4 – Green Chemistry


    Green Chemistry:

    The practice of chemistry in a manner that maximizes its benefits while


    eliminating or at least greatly reducing its adverse impacts has come to be
    known as Green Chemistry.

    Paul Anastas: Father of Green Chemistry.

    The practice of green chemistry must be based upon Environmental


    chemistry. This important branch of chemical science is defined as the
    study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical
    species in water, soil, air, and living environments and the effects of
    technology thereon.
    Green Chemistry can be defined as the practice of chemical
    science and manufacturing in a manner that is sustainable,
    safe, and non-polluting and that consumes minimum amounts
    of materials and energy while producing little or no waste
    material. The practice of green chemistry begins with
    recognition that the production, processing, use, and eventual
    disposal of chemical products may cause harm when
    performed incorrectly.
    Why do we need Green Chemistry..????

    • Chemical developments bring new environmental problems


    and harmful unexpected side effects, which result in the
    need for “greener” chemical products.
    • Example: DDT (Pesticide).
    Goals of Green Chemistry:

    • To reduce adverse environmental impact, try appropriate


    and innovative choice of material and their chemical
    transformation.
    • To develop processes based on renewable rather than non-
    renewable raw materials.
    • To minimize by-products in chemical transformation by
    redesign of rxns.
    • To develop products that are less toxic.
    • To develop products that degrade more rapidly in the
    environment.
    Principles of Green Chemistry:

    • Prevention of waste or by-products (waste prevention is


    much better then waste cleanup).
    • Minimization of hazardous products.
    • Designing safer chemicals.
    • Safer auxiliaries (solvents and separation agents = Green
    solvents).
    • Design for energy efficiency (bio-based fuels).
    • Use of renewable feedstock.
    • Reduce derivatives.
    • Use of catalyst reagents (as selective as possible)
    Major uses of Green Chemistry:

    • Energy
    • Global change
    • Resource depletion
    • Food supply
    • Toxic in the environment
