Introduction to Green and Sustainable Chemistry

Knowledge
a) describe the challenges such as climate change, environmental pollution, CO2emission, waste generation;
b) identify specific issues associated with using conventional feedstock for producing chemicals and energy;
c) define the metrics such as E-factor and Atom Economy used in green chemistry;
d) appreciate the importance of catalytic processes against reactions using stoichiometric reagents;
e) identify sustainable alternative feedstock to produce chemicals and fuels;
f) appreciate the difference between linear economy and circular economy;

Understanding
a) calculate the E-factor and Atom Economy for simple chemical reactions;
b) between two reactions identify which one is greener using the above metrics
c) identify sustainable and renewable feedstock;
e) identify environmentally benign waste products and hazardous waste in a given chemical reaction;
