| Syllabus: | A principal challenge for sustainable technology development is the design of new products that have increased benefits but without detrimental effects on the environment. Green chemistry - or pollution prevention at the molecular level - is aimed at innovative chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and use of chemical products. Outlines the basic concepts of green chemistry, looking at the role of catalysts and solvents, waste minimisation, feedstocks, green metrics and the design of safer, more-efficient processes. The concepts are being illustrated with practical examples from various industry sectors. Special emphasis is given to the application of nano-chemistry and nano-technology. |
