What is Green Chemistry Green Chemistry is a new branch of chemistry trying to find of new ways of industrial procedures that are less harmful to the environment and help prevent pollution
THE 12 Principals of Green Chemistry Prevent waste - When a companies have waste they can do it properly but it cost them money to dispose it properly or they can do it illegally but it causes harm to the environment. Design safer chemicals – Find new chemicals that are safer to be handled by humans and that are not health damaging to people if inhaled. Find safer ways to make synthetic products - Maximise atom economy – Create chemicals that affect their desired function while reducing their toxicity Use safer solvents - Use less dangerous substances and use safer substances Use renewable reactants – Use less energy consuming procedures and conduct safer methods of making chemicals Maximise chemical efficiency – Find and use renewable objects when possible Avoid Chemical Derivatives – Avoid blocking, protect/de protect, modify it physically / chemically process at all costs. Use catalysts – Use catalysts to speed up chemical reactions and it stays out of the formula. Design biodegradable products – Find safer things that can break down in the environment if dumped there. Use real-time analysis – Use real-time anaylsis to prevent the creation of CO2 and other gases that can harm the ozone layer. Minimise the potential for accidents – clean up chemicals spills on the floor / move chemicals out of people ways so they don’t trip.
Case Study: Part A • Ingeois using green chemistry by using safer solvents in the company because sugar from field corn is biodegradable.
Case Study: Part B • Ingeo using green chemistry by switching from oil to sugar from field corn as their primary feedstock. Also they don’t use genetically modified (GM) feedstock.
Case Study: Part C • The benefits of switching from oil to sugar from field corn is that: • the field corn is cheaper then the oil because the oil was $100 per a barrel • the field corn is cheaper and they can grow it themselves so they are using biodegradable products if they have left overs that they don’t need.
Case Study: Part C • The field corn that INGEO now uses is safer to the environment because the field corn did come from the farms in the environment and that means they are biodegradable and can be easily taken back to the farms and plant it back in.
