Green ChemistryGreen Chemistry
• During the early 1990s,
the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) coined the phrase “green chemistry”
promote innovative chemical technologies
reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and use of chemical products

Green ChemistryGreen Chemistry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_chemistryGreen chemistry is about the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.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.

Green Chemistry can also be described as
1. Sustainable chemistry
2. Chemistry that is benign by design
3. Pollution prevention at the molecular level
4. All of the above

1.1. Waste preventionWaste prevention
It is better to prevent the formation of waste than to treat or clean up the waste.
Chemical wastes are undesirable products from chemical reactions. They are usually hazardous to the environment.Industrial processes should be designed to minimize the generation of waste.
![Page 11: 1 Concepts of Green Chemistry. 2 Sustainable Development “...... Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cd65503460f9499de50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

2.2. Maximizing atom economyMaximizing atom economy
Traditionally, the success of a chemical reaction is judged by the percentage yield of product.
It is possible to achieve 100% yield but the reaction may generate waste that is far greater in mass and volume than that of the desired product.
![Page 12: 1 Concepts of Green Chemistry. 2 Sustainable Development “...... Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cd65503460f9499de50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The accumulation of barnacles(藤壺 )on the ship may increase the resistance to its
movement.

However, organotin compounds are highly toxic to the surrounding marine life.
Then, Rohm and Haas Company developed a non-toxic alternative called Sea-NineTM. It degrades quickly in the marine environment and is not toxic to the surrounding marine life.
