Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes in living organisms. Biochemistry governs all living organisms and living processes. By controlling information flow through biochemical signa
Green chemistry technologies provide a number of benefits, including:
1.reduced waste, eliminating costly end-of-the-pipe treatments
2.safer products
3.reduced u
Mycoremediation is a form of bioremediation in which fungi are used to decontaminate the area. The term mycoremediation refers specifically to the use of fungal mycelia in bioremediation.
Bioremediation is the use of microorganismal metabolism to remove pollutants.
Bioremediation can occur on its own (natural attenuation or intrinsic bioremediation) or can be s
Green chemistry metrics measures efficiency in a chemical process. Having made a Green Chemistry improvement to a chemical process, it is important to be able to quantify the change. By quan
The Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards began in 1995 as an effort to recognize individuals and businesses for innovations in green chemistry. Typically five awards are given each
1.Prevention
It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created.
2.Atom Economy
Synthetic methods should be designed to maxim
Green chemistry reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances from chemical products and processes. Green chemistry improves upon all types of chemical products and pro
The Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) was incorporated in 1997 as a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation devoted to promoting and advancing green chemistry. In January 2001, GCI joined the Ameri
Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. (Anastas and Warner, 2000).
