This review outlines several approaches for designing new and environmentally friendly heterogeneously catalyzed oxidation processes for the synthesis of fine and intermediate chemicals. Environmentally benign oxidants such as molecular oxygen, hydrogen peroxide or nitrous oxide can be activated on suitable heterogeneous catalysts showing high activity and selectivity toward the desired oxygena...

Environmentally responsible product development (ERPD), also known as environmentally benign manufacturing, considers both environmental impacts and economic objectives during the numerous and diverse activities of product development and manufacturing. There are many ways to minimize environmental impacts. Clearly, however, the greatest opportunity for ERPD occurs during the product design pha...

In battery systems, aqueous electrolytes are superior in ionic conductivity, interfacial wettability, safety and environmentally benign compared to organic liquids, polymers, inorganic solid-state liquid electrolytes.

A water soluble, Bronsted acid, 5-sulfosalicylic acid as an efficient organocatalyst was used for the synthesis of physiologically active 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives from o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehydes in ethanol at reflux condition. Cost-effectiveness, use of non-hazardous solvents, metal free and commercially available catalyst, single-step, environmentally fri...
