Green Chemistry
1. Explain what is meant by the concept of “Green Chemistry”?

Green Chemistry is designing chemical products that
reduce eliminate and hazardous substances. Therefore
causing less damage to environment and humans.
2. List the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and briefly explain what
each principle means.
1.
Prevention- Waste should be prevented rather then cleaned up
later.
2.
Design safer chemicals- chemicals should be deigned that don’t
do as much damage to the environment.
3.
Atom Economy – less wast should be produced and more of the
initial produces should be used in the fine.
4.
Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses – where possible method
should be used to lesion toxic to humans.
5.
Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries – solvents should be avoided or
replaced with safer chemicals.

Conserve Complexity – keep it simple to save power
Use of renewable material – material should reused rather thrown away
when practical.
Reduce Derivatives – this should be done because this step can
produce wast
Catalysis – A selection of Catalysis can be used
Design for Degradation – chemicals should be designed so at the end
of there use they can beak down easily
Real-time analysis for Pollution Prevention – substance being produced
should be monitored as they are produced to mean amount of wast.
Inherently Safer Chemistry for Accident Prevention – chemicals used should
be should be chosen on the danger of Accidents that includes fire, spills,
explosions.
3.
The Pyrocool Fire Suppression, Pyrocool
Technologies, inc. Is a company that has
adopted green chemists and is working
with the 12 perishables the main things the
company dose is make better fire
extinguisher ageists to add to water or to
be used as a forme. The old fire fighting
chemicals were have a wears effect on
the environment in the long term then not
using them in the short term.
