    Green chemistry aims to reduce waste and hazardous substances through principles of design, development, and implementation of chemical products and processes. It considers energy conservation, waste reduction, and sustainability across a product's life cycle. Metrics have been proposed to quantify greener processes and products related to mass, energy, hazard reduction, and full life cycle environmental impacts. Examples of green chemistry principles include alternative feedstocks, reaction conditions, reagents, products, and targets to be more sustainable.

    What is Green Chemistry?
    Green chemistry in very simple terms is just a different way of thinking about how
    chemistry and chemical engineering can be done. Over the years different principles
    have been proposed that can be used when thinking about the design, development
    and implementation of chemical products and processes. These principles enable
    scientists and engineers to protect and benefit the economy, people and the planet by
    finding creative and innovative ways to reduce waste, conserve energy, and discover
    replacements for hazardous substances.

    It’s important to note that the scope of these of green chemistry and engineering
    principles go beyond concerns over hazards from chemical toxicity and include
    energy conservation, waste reduction, and life cycle considerations such as the use of
    more sustainable or renewable feedstocks and designing for end of life or the final
    disposition of the product.

    Green chemistry can also be defined through the use of metrics. While a unified set
    of metrics has not been established, many ways to quantify greener processes and
    products have been proposed. These metrics include ones for mass, energy,
    hazardous substance reduction or elimination, and life cycle environmental impacts.

    Basic components of Green Chemistry
    Alternative feedstocks or starting Materials

    Alternative reaction conditions

    Alternative reagent or transformation

    Alternative products and target molecules


    Alternative Feedstocks or Starting Materials

    Reducing the amount of the feedstock used


    Reducing the intrinsic toxicity of the
    feedstock though structural modification
    Replacing the feedstock.
    Example: Synthesis of Adipic Acid:
    Supercritical fluid system
    Because of  their low viscosities, SCFs can be transferred in pipelines and pumped to high pressures requiring less
    mechanical energy than liquids and subcritical gases. Because the density of an SCF can be altered continuously by
    manipulating pressure and temperature, the solvation ability of the fluid is tunable. Thus, selective dissolution of
    solutes in a SCF may be achieved by optimizing the density of the fluid phase. This tunable solvation characteristic is
    a unique property that makes SCFs different from conventional liquid solvents. The other important advantage of
    SCF extraction is rapid separation of solutes that can be easily achieved by a reduction of pressure.
    Examples of large-scale commercial applications of the supercritical fluid extraction technology include
    crystallization,
    • Hu et al. (2004), extraction of vitamins, natural flavors, perfumes, and essential oils from fruits and plants,
    Mansoori et al. (1988) and
    • Martinelli et al. (1991), removal of unwanted materials, such as caffeine and cholesterol from food products,
    • Mohamad and Mansoori (2000), and pollution remediation using environmentally friendly supercritical fluids
    Ekhtera et al. (1997).
