Embracing Green Solvents: A Sustainable Solution for Chemistry
It is time to switch over our organic solvents to green solvent. Recently EPA banned Dichloromethane solvent, after a long time study on paint industries workers. EPA reported 88 deaths in their study. Conventional solvents are often involved in significant health and environmental risk,contributing to pollution, global warming, and resource depletion. To save our environment and life, the researchers have been actively trying to find green alternatives to traditional solvents. The green solvent has promising chemical characteristics with minimum hazardous impact during the use. What are Green Solvents? Green solvents are well known environmentally friendly or sustainable, having a low environmental impact. It is derived from renewable or easily available sources. They are made to reduce the use of dangerous materials and minimize waste generation. During the use of this solvent, it promotes energy efficiency. Types of Green Solvents: Bio-based solvents: It is extract...
