An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it has been created.

The use of auxiliary substances (e.g. solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be made unnecessary wherever possible and innocuous when used.

Energy requirements of chemical processes should be recognised for the environmental and economic impacts and should be minimised. If possible, synthetic methods should be conducted at ambient temperature and pressure.

None of the above.

Detailed Solution

Green chemistry aims to achieve all three of these goals.
●        Waste Prevention: It is preferable to prevent waste rather than treat or clean up waste that has already occurred.
●        Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries: Auxiliary substances (e.g., solvents, separation agents, etc.) should be avoided where possible and used only when absolutely necessary.
●        Design for Energy Efficiency: The environmental and economic impacts of chemical processes should be recognised, and energy requirements should be minimised. Synthetic techniques should be carried out at room temperature and pressure if at all possible.
