A Brief History :-
• 1962- Rachel Carson wrote scientific book, Silent
Spring. It outlined the devastation that chemicals had
on local ecosystems and inspired modern environment
movement.
• 1970- Richard Nixon established the U.S Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).Its first major decision was to
ban the use of DDT and other chemical pesticides.
• 1990-The Pollution Prevention Act passed
• 1991- Paul T. Anastas coined term Green Chemistry
• 1998 - “Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry” is
published by Paul Anastas (of the EPA) and John
Warner.
“Green chemistry is the design of chemical
products and processes that reduce or eliminate
the generation of hazardous substances.”
According to US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency)
DEFINITION:-
Green chemistry is also known as clean chemistry or
benign and sustainable chemistry.
Green chemistry is the utilization of a set of
principles that reduces or eliminates the use or
generation of hazardous substances in the design,
manufacture and application of chemical products.
It applies across the life cycle of a chemical product,
including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate
disposal.
12 Principles of Green Chemistry:-
1. Prevent waste
2. Design Safer Chemicals and Products
3. Design Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses
4. Use Safer Solvents/Reaction Conditions
5. Increase Energy Efficiency
6. Use Renewable Feedstocks
7. Design Chemicals and Products that Degrade After Use
8. Analyze in Real Time to Prevent Pollution
9. Use Catalysts
10. Maximize Atom Economy
11. Avoid Chemical Derivatives
12.Minimize the Potential for Accidents
1.Prevent Waste
It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up
waste after it has been created.
Prevention principle, is the most important and the
other principles are the “how to” to achieve it.
2.Design Safer Chemicals and Products
Chemical products should be designed to preserve
efficacy of function while reducing toxicity.
The intrinsic hazard of elements and molecules is a
fundamental chemical property that must be
characterized, evaluated and managed as part of a
systems-based strategy for chemical design.
3.Design Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses
Synthetic methods should be designed to use and generate
substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health
and the environment.
4.Use Safer Solvents/Reaction Conditions
The use of auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents, separation
agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary wherever possible
and, innocuous when used.
The object is to choose solvents that make sense chemically,
reduce the energy requirements, have the least toxicity, have
the fewest life cycle environmental impacts and don't have
major safety impacts.
5.Increase Energy Efficiency
Energy requirements should be recognized for their
environmental and economic impacts and should be
minimized. Synthetic methods should be conducted
at ambient temperature and pressure.
Energy—like thinking about how to arrange a
synthesis to have the fewest number of steps, or use
the lowest cost starting materials or any other
aspect of interest to the synthetic or process
chemist—is just another design parameter.
6.Use Renewable Feedstocks
Our fossil fuels for carbon-based chemicals and
materials are being rapidly depleted in a predictable
manner with the expected rise of global populations.
A raw material or feedstock should be renewable
rather than depleting whenever technically and
economically practicable.
7.Design Chemicals and Products
that Degrade After Use
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.
Biodegradation, hydrolysis, and photolysis can be
designed into chemical products.
8.Analyze in Real Time to Prevent
Pollution
Analytical methodologies need to be further developed
to allow for real-time, in-process monitoring and control
prior to the formation of hazardous substances.
The effective application of process analytical chemistry
directly contributes to the safe and efficient operation
of chemical plants worldwide.
9.Use Catalysts
A catalyst is defined as “a substance that changes
the velocity of a reaction without itself being
changed in the process”. It lowers the activation
energy of the reaction but in so doing it is not
consumed.
This means that it can be used in small amounts and
can be recycled indefinitely, that is it doesn’t
generate any waste.
For example:- Reduction of a ketone to the
corresponding secondary alcohol using sodium
borohydride or molecular hydrogen as the reductant.
10.Maximize Atom Economy
Synthetic methods should be designed to maximize
incorporation of all materials used in the process
into the final product.
Percent atom economy:- The percent atom economy
is simply the formula weight of the desired
product(s) divided by the sum of the formula weights
of all the reactants.
% Atom Economy = (FW of atoms utilized/FW of all
reactants) X 100
11.Avoid Chemical Derivatives
Unnecessary derivatization (use of blocking groups,
protection/deprotection, temporary modification of
physical/chemical processes) should be minimized or
avoided if possible, because such steps require
additional reagents and can generate waste.
One of the best ways of doing this is the use of
enzymes. Enzymes are so specific that they can often
react with one site of the molecule and leave the rest
of the molecule alone and hence protecting groups
are often not required.
12.Minimize the Potential for Accidents
Safety can be defined as the control of recognized
hazards to achieve an acceptable level of risk. This is
also known as the “Safety Principle”.
Substances and the form of a substance used in a
chemical process should be chosen to minimize the
potential for chemical accidents, including releases,
explosions, and fires.
Recent Trends in Green Chemistry:-
• Directed Evolution-Green Chemistry and Biocatalysts
• New Developments in Degradable and Recycled Polymers
• Polymers from Carbon Dioxide
• Green Chemistry and Oil-Based Paints
• Green and Renewable Energy Sources
• Greener Electrochemical Storage Systems
Directed Evolution-Green Chemistry and
Biocatalysts
In 2016 the biochemical engineer Frances Arnold Develop this technique
and received the Millennium Technology Prize.
This technology is basically used to create new and better proteins
(enzymes for biocatalysis) in the laboratory that can be used for
biocatalytic reactions.
This technology have solved many important synthetic industrial
problems by replacing less efficient synthetic methods and sometimes
harmful technologies.
It has been adopted in areas of Green Chemistry and renewable energy.
For example, directed evolution is used to improve enzymes that
convert cellulose or other plant sugars to biofuels and chemicals.
New Developments in Degradable and
Recycled Polymers
Plastic littering problems increased at a fast rate and plastic pollution of oceans
became a serious and emerging issue of environmental pollution.
The Green chemistry of polymers with degradable products and bio-based plastics
are considered in the right direction for sustainability in the polymer field.
Polymers from Carbon Dioxide
Reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emission has become an
urgent environmental and climate issue of our age
Carbon dioxide can be recovered on a large scale in carbon capture of power
plants, burning fossil fuels, and in steam-reforming to produce hydrogen
from water and coal.
Green Chemistry and India :-
In India, there hasn’t been much emphasis laid on development or
practicing of green chemistry. With the increasing levels of pollution in all
forms due to rapid industrialization, there is a need to understand the
need of green chemistry.
There has been some research done by some groups like development of
solid support reagents and catalysts useful for organic transformations at
IICT, Hyderabad or the initiation of a program to develop green synthetic
methods by designing reaction protocols without involving organic solvents
by IACS, Kolkata.
Conclusion:-
Green Chemistry is the chemistry for the
environment, including the production and use of
less hazardous substances. It is based on 12
principles.
All over the world, governments and industries
are working with “green” chemists to transform
the economy into a sustainable enterprise. Green
chemistry may be the next social movement that
will set aside all the world’s differences and
allow for the creation of an environmentally
commendable civilization
