12 Principle of Green Chemistry

Terms in this set (12)

one
prevent waste rather than have to clean up waste
two
maximize the incorporation of all materials from the process into the final product
three
use synthetic methodologies to generate substances that possess little or no toxicity to human health and the environment
four
chemical products designed to preserve efficacy of function while reducing toxicity
five
use of auxiliary substances (solvents, separation agents) should be made unnecessary or innocuous
six
energy requirements should be recognized for environmental and economic impacts and minimized. Synthetic methods conducted at ambient temperature and pressure
seven
raw material feedstock should be renewable
eight
derivatization (blocking group, protection/deprotection, temporary modification of physical/chemical processes) should be avoided
nine
catalytic reagents (selective) are superior to stoichiometric reagents
ten
chemical products designed so they do not persist in the environment and break down into innocuous degradation products
eleven
analytical methodologies further developed to allow for real time, in process monitoring and control prior to the formation of hazardous substances
twelve
substance used in a chemical process should be chosen to minimize the potential for chemical accidents (releases, explosions, fires)
