Question

i want to study the Green chemistry any one help me, i want more knowledge about this topic plz help me.

Answer 1

Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry, is a chemical philosophy encouraging the design of products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Whereas environmental chemistry is the chemistry of the natural environment, and of pollutant chemicals in nature, green chemistry seeks to reduce and prevent pollution at its source.

As a chemical philosophy, green chemistry derives from organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and even physical chemistry. However, the philosophy of green chemistry tends to focus on industrial applications. Click chemistry is often cited as a style of chemical synthesis that is consistent with the goals of green chemistry. The focus is on minimizing the hazard and maximizing the efficiency of any chemical choice. It is distinct from environmental chemistry which focuses on chemical phenomena in the environment.

Bioengineering is also seen as a promising technique for achieving green chemistry goals. A number of important process chemicals can be synthesized in engineered organisms, such as shikimate, a Tamiflu precursor which is fermented by Roche in bacteria.

Promoting the Design, Manufacture, and Use of Environmentally Benign Chemicals Through Sustainable Chemistry (or "Green Chemistry")

OECD Member countries have initiated work on a new project aimed at facilitating the development of environmentally benign chemicals. As a first step, a workshop was held in Venice, Italy (15-17 October, 1998) [ ENV/JM/MONO(99)19] to identify effective techniques and approaches in the field of sustainable chemistry and to identify activities that can further the development and use of sustainable chemistry programmes. This includes such things as recognising and rewarding sustainable chemistry accomplishments; disseminating technical information; promoting the incorporation of sustainable chemistry principles into various levels of chemical education; and promoting the research, discovery and development of innovative sustainable chemistry technologies. Work is underway on each of these approaches
