Applications and Principal of Green Chemistry: A Review

Mohammad Asif, Mohd Imran

Abstract


Green chemistry (GC) is the rapid emerging branch of chemistry. The beginning of GC is considered as a response to the need to reduce the damage of the environment by man-made materials and the processes used to produce them. The GC could include anything from reducing waste to even disposing of waste in the correct manner. All chemical waste should be set out in the best feasibleway without causing any harm to the surroundings and livelihoods.GC is the synthesis of substance in such a way that is proper, non-polluting and protected and which requires lowest amounts of resources and energy but generating slight or no waste material. The GC is required to minimize the harm of the nature by anthropogenic materials and the processes applied to generate them. The GC indicates research emerges from scientific discoveries about effluence responsiveness. The GC involves twelve set of values which minimize or eliminates the use or production of unsafe substances. Scientists and Chemists can significantly minimize the risk to environment and health of human by the help of all the valuable ideology of GC. The principles of GC can be achieved by the use environmental friendly, harmless, reproducible and solvents and catalysts during production of medicine, and in researches. The use of UV-energy Microwave irradiation in is also significant way to achieve the goal of GC.This article explains ideology and presents selected examples of implementation of green chemistry principles in everyday life in industry, the laboratory and in education.
