A Study on Chemical Reactor Concepts for Green Chemical Processes
Author(s): Tamaghna Chakraborti*
Green synthesis of chemicals has a significant positive impact on environment. Because of the impact
on pollution, energy consumption, air quality, and global warming, the scientific community and
chemical industry are becoming increasingly interested in concepts like atom economy; renewables
feed stocks and sustainable solvents as an inseparable part of green synthesis. For example, solvent
losses are a major source of organic pollution, and solvent cleanup consumes a lot of energy and
more environmentally friendly or sustainable solvents have been proposed and developed over the
last three decades. Green chemistry for chemical synthesis addresses future challenges in chemical
synthesis by developing new synthetic schemes and apparatus to simplify chemical production,
developing novel reactions to maximize desired products while minimizing by products, and see.. View More»
