Green chemistry, similar to sustainable chemistry or circular chemistry, [1] is an area of chemistry and chemical engineering focused on the design of products and processes that minimize or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. [2] While environmental chemistry focuses on the effects of polluting chemicals on nature, green ...
Green solvents are environmentally friendly chemical solvents that are used as a part of green chemistry.They came to prominence in 2015, when the UN defined a new sustainability-focused development plan based on 17 sustainable development goals, recognizing the need for green chemistry and green solvents for a more sustainable future.

Steven V. Ley. Helen Sneddon is a British chemist who is Professor of Sustainable Chemistry and Director of the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence at the University of York. Her research looks to identify sustainable synthetic strategies, including alternatives to carbon-halogen bonds and ways to make chemical products more robust.
Dihydrolevoglucosenone is a clear colorless, to light-yellow liquid with a mild, smoky ketone-like odor. [11] It is miscible with water and many organic solvents. [11] Dihydrolevoglucosenone has a boiling point of 226 °C at 101.325 kPa (vs 202 °C for NMP), and a vapor pressure of 14.4 Pa near room temperature (25 °C). [2]
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Chemical Society. [1] [2] It covers research in green chemistry, green engineering, biomass, alternative energy, and life cycle assessment. [3] According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal has an impact factor of 7.1 in 2023. [4]
The International IUPAC Conferences on Green Chemistry (ICGCs) gather several hundreds scientists, technologists, and experts from all over the world with the aim to exchange and disseminate new ideas, discoveries, and projects on green chemistry and a sustainable development. After mid twentieth century, an increasingly general consensus ...
The environmental effect of pharmaceuticals and personal care products ( PPCPs) is being investigated since at least the 1990s. PPCPs include substances used by individuals for personal health or cosmetic reasons and the products used by agribusiness to boost growth or health of livestock. More than twenty million tons of PPCPs are produced ...
He served as head of the department of chemistry from 2007 to 2014 and as dean of the faculty of natural sciences from 2015 to 2019. [ 2][ 3] He is a Fellow and the former president of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2020 to 2022). [ 4][ 5] Welton's research focuses on sustainable chemistry, with particular focus on ionic liquids and on solvent ...
