12 PRINCIPLES OF GREEN CHEMISTRY

Abstract

It is also called sustainable chemistry, is a philosophy of chemical research and engineering that encourages the
design of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. Green
chemistry is about reducing waste, material, hazard, risk, energy, and cost. In this we will discuss about twelve
principles of green chemistry Prevent waste, Maximize atom economy, Design less hazardous chemical
syntheses, Design safer chemicals and products, Use safer solvents and reaction conditions, Increase energy
efficiency, Use renewable feedstocks, Avoid chemical derivatives, Use catalysts, not stoichiometric reagents,
Design chemicals and products to degrade after use, Analyze in real time to prevent pollution, Minimize the
potential for accidents
