ABSTRACT

The expanding progression of industrial development has been a pioneer for world economic growth. Green chemistry has been defined as ‗the employment of techniques and methodologies that reduce or eliminate the use or production of feedstocks, products, by-products, solvents, and reagents that are harmful to human health or the environment‘. The quality-by-design approach is well-known in the pharmaceutical industry, and it has a great influence on analytical methods and procedures. In the green method of chemistry, the core consideration is directed towards the design of a material or the chemical procedure; four of twelve principles are associated with design, e.g. designing fewer hazardous chemical syntheses, designing harmless chemicals and products, designing for energy effectiveness, and designing for degradation. One of the most active fields of research and development in green chemistry is the establishment of analytical methodologies, leading to the beginning of so-called green analytical chemistry. The Chemistry and the Environmental Division of EuChem has assumed Green Chemistry as one of its areas of interests, but one question to solve is where Green Chemistry should be placed within the context of Chemistry and Environment. The concept of Green Chemistry, as primarily conceived by Paul Anastas and John Warner, is commonly presented through the twelve principles of Green Chemistry.
