Sunchema

non-profit entity for r&d; in the field of sustainable green science (esp. chemistry). for memory, the basic 12 principles of green chemistry are the following : 1. prevent waste 2. maximize the incorporation of all materials 3. synthetic methodologies possess little or no toxicity 4. preserve efficacy of function while reducing toxicity . 5. auxiliary substances should be made unnecessary whenever possible 6. energy requirements should be minimized. synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure. 7. a raw material feedstock should be renewable rather than depleting whenever technically and economically practical. 8. unnecessary derivatization should be avoided. 9. catalytic reagents are superior to stoichiometric reagents. 10. chemical products should be designed so that at the end of their function they do not persist in the environment and break down into innocuous degradation products. 11. analytical methodologies to allow for real-time in-process monitor
