Green Energy Solution for Environment Pollution: Present Scenarioin India

Abstract

Green chemistry, also called “sustainable chemistry” is an approach to chemistry that attempts to prevent or reduce pollution. It also tries to improve the efficiency of chemical products by changing how chemicals are designed, manufactured, and used. This chemistry emphasizes the reduction or elimination of the production of hazardous substances and the development of greener solvents and safer chemicals.

This is the branch of chemistry that deals with the design and optimization the production and use of toxic substances.

Green chemistry aims to reduce the negative impact of the chemicals on human health and the environment. Chemists do this by developing alternative processes and reaction media, such as solvents, which are environmentally friendly, safer design of molecules and materials, reduce the waste generated from the production process, eliminate the hazardous products to impact the environment, minimize the dangerous materials used in various methods, which leads to environmental exploitation and optimum utilization of resources.

The manufacture of chemicals, such as drugs, can involve huge volumes of harmful solvents. So selecting greener solvents is a key target of many green chemistry programmes. Progress is being made towards identifying solvents that can be used in much smaller quantities, and careful selection can also increase the reaction rates and production rate.

Day by day, pollution which occurs from chemicals which are used in chemical industries or expelled from processing industries increasing constantly. To overcome this problem green chemistry is right option. By using green chemistry concepts, we can reduce the effects of environmental pollutants.

In this paper we are going to focus on the key principles of green chemistry like prevention of waste, avoiding the production of hazardous chemicals,
designs of safe chemicals, incorporation of safe chemistry for the prevention of accidents.
