Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry
The cleavage of b-O-4 linkages in lignin can generate monomers with a phenyl propane structure that can easily be upgraded into valuable hydrocarbon biofuels and renewable aromatic chemicals. High-yield lignin monomer production from extracted (or technical) lignin that is produced in a practical way could facilitate the productivity and profitability of biomass conversion processes. However, i...
متن کاملSolvents and sustainable chemistry
Solvents are widely recognized to be of great environmental concern. The reduction of their use is one of the most important aims of green chemistry. In addition to this, the appropriate selection of solvent for a process can greatly improve the sustainability of a chemical production process. There has also been extensive research into the application of so-called green solvents, such as ionic...
متن کاملGreen chemistry
Since their initial appearance in the scientific literature, the terms "green" and "sustainable" have been increasingly used and are nowadays ubiquitously present in the terminology of several research areas. The seminal origin of what is considered “green chemistry” today might be ascribed to the launch of the Responsible Care® initiative by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) [1] and to the ...
متن کاملImplementing green chemistry . An environmental policy for sustainability *
A diverse cocktail of synthetic chemicals is now globally distributed in the environment, food web, and human tissues, posing significant health risks to humans and wildlife. The current approach to environmental regulation is inherently inadequate to address the scope and complexity of this problem. A fundamental shift in paradigm is required to protect human health and ecological systems from...
متن کاملGreen chemistry.
Gilbert's chemistry sets, those that many of today's practicing chemists received as children, proved to be the spark that ignited many a lifelong exploration of the wonders of chemistry. While DuPont was espousing its contributions to the world with its motto, "Better living through chemistry," children were using the popular Gilbert's chemistry sets to perform the simplest experiments and vie...
