What are the Principles of Green Chemistry in Catalysis?
Prevention: Catalysts help in minimizing waste by improving the selectivity of reactions. Atom Economy: Catalytic processes aim to maximize the incorporation of all materials used into the final product. Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries: Catalysis often allows for the use of safer alternatives to traditional solvents. Energy Efficiency: Catalysts enable reactions to proceed at lower temperatures and pressures, thus conserving energy. Renewable Feedstocks: Catalysis can facilitate the use of renewable resources over finite ones.
