GREEN CHEMISTRY

Green chemistry focuses on creating chemical processes that are safer for the environment and human health. It aims to reduce waste, use renewable resources, and minimize the use of harmful substances. The goal is to make industries more sustainable while protecting the planet. Defining green chemistry: Green chemistry focuses on reducing waste, energy consumption, the use of toxic chemicals, and pollution in chemical processes. The goal is to make these processes more efficient and environmentally friendly. PRINCIPLES Here are a few key principles of green chemistry: Prevention: : It’s better to prevent waste than to treat or clean it up after it’s been created. Atom Economy : Maximize the incorporation of all materials used in the process into the final product, reducing waste. Less Hazardous Chemical Synthesis: Design chemical processes to use and generate substances that are less toxic. Atom economy is a measure of how efficiently a chemical reaction converts reactants into t...
