Green Chemistry
2Paul Anastas: Father of Green Chemistry
3Green Chemistry is about reducing
• Waste• Materials• Hazards• Risks• Energy• Cost
4Why do we need Green Chemistry
Objective• Chemistry is undeniably a
very prominent part of our daily lives.
• Chemical developments also bring new environmental problems and harmful unexpected side effects, which result in the need for ‘greener’ chemical products.
Results• A famous example is the
pesticide DDT.
5What it looks for . . . . .
• Green chemistry looks at pollution prevention on the molecular scale and is an extremely important area of Chemistry due to the importance of Chemistry in our world today and the implications it can show on our environment.
• The Green Chemistry program supports the invention of more environmentally friendly chemical processes which reduce or even eliminate the generation of hazardous substances.
• This program works very closely with the twelve principles of Green Chemistry.
6Goals of Green Chemistry
1. To reduce adverse environmental impact, try appropriate and innovative choice of material & their chemical transformation.
2. To develop processes based on renewable rather than non-renewable raw materials.
3. To develop processes that are less prone to obnoxious chemical release, fires & explosion.
4. To minimize by-products in chemical transformation by redesign of reactions & reaction sequences.
5. To develop products that are less toxic.
7Goals of Green Chemistry
6. To develop products that degrade more rapidly in the environment than the current products.
7. To reduce the requirements for hazardous persistent solvents & extractants in chemical processes.
8. To improve energy efficiency by developing low temperature & low pressure processes using new catalysts.
9. To develop efficient & reliable methods to monitor the processes for better & improved controls.
Principles of Green Chemistry
9The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
1. Prevention of Waste or by-products

10The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
1. Prevention of Waste or by-products
“It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed”
11The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
2. Atom EconomyAtom economy (atom efficiency) describes
the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved (desired products produced).
12The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
3. Minimization of hazardous products Wherever practicable, synthetic methods
should be designed to use and generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to people or the environment.
13The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
3. Minimization of hazardous products
14The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
4. Designing Safer Chemicals Chemical products should be designed to
effect their desired function while minimising their toxicity.
15The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
5. Safer Solvents & Auxiliaries
“The use of auxiliary substances (e.g. solvents,separation agents, etc.) should be made
unnecessarywherever possible, and innocuous when used”
16The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
5. Safer Solvents & Auxiliaries
17The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
6. Design for Energy EfficiencyEnergy requirements of chemical processes should
be recognised for their environmental and economic impacts and should be minimised. If possible, synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure.
18The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
6. Design for Energy Efficiency
Developing the alternatives for energy generation (photovoltaic, hydrogen, fuel cells, bio based fuels, etc.) as well as
Continue the path toward energy efficiency with catalysis and product design at the forefront.
19The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
7. Use of Renewable Feedstock
“A raw material or feedstock should be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and
economically practicable.”
20The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
7. Use of Renewable Feedstock
21The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
8. Reduce Derivatives
Unnecessary derivatization (use of blocking groups, protection/de-protection, and temporary modification of physical/chemical processes) should be minimised or avoided if possible, because such steps require additional reagents and can generate waste.
22The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
8. Reduce Derivatives
More derivatives involveAdditional ReagentsGenerate more waste productsMore TimeHigher Cost of Products
• Hence, it requires to reduce derivatives.
23The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
9. CatalysisCatalytic reagents (as selective as possible) are
superior to stoichiometric reagents.e.g. Toluene can be exclusively converted into p-xylene (avoiding o-xylene & m-xylene) by shape selective zeolite catalyst.
24The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
10. Designing of degradable products
Chemical products should be designed so that at the end of their function they break down into innocuous degradation products and do not persist in the environment.
25The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
26The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
11. New Analytical Methods
“Analytical methodologies need to be further developed to allow for real-time, in-process
monitoring and control prior to the formation of hazardous substances.”
27The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry
12. Safer Chemicals For Accident Prevention
“Analytical Substances and the form of a substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimise the potential for chemical accidents,
including releases, explosions, and fires.”
Efficiency Parameters
291. Reaction Yield
The reaction should have high percentage of yield.
302. Atom Economy
Atom economy describes the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved (desired products produced).
For the reaction, the atom economy should be maximum.
312. Atom Economy
e.g.1. Rearrangement Reactions:
These reactions involves rearrangement of atoms that forms molecule. Hence, the atom economy of these reactions are 100%.2. Addition Reactions:
These reactions involves addition of two or more molecules without elimination that forms molecule. Hence, the atom economy of these reactions are 100%
322. Atom Economy
e.g. Consider the following reaction to find out atom economy.
CH3 CH2 C OC2H5
O
+ CH3 NH2
Ethyl propionate
Mol wt 102.13
Methyl amine
Mol wt 31.05
CH3 CH2 C NHCH 3
O
N-Methyl propionate
Mol wt 87.106
+ H5C2 OH
Ethyl Alcohol
Mol wt 46.06
333. Conversion Factor
344. Reaction Selectivity
355. Environmental Load Factor
It is represented by E and it should be minimum.

• Global Change
• Resource Depletion
