Although the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence has knowledge and expertise in the area of green chemistry as a whole, in relation to scientific expertise we primarily focus on the following areas:
|
SYNTHESISManufacturing route of a product determines its costs and environmental impact. |
CATALYSISLowers the energy needed for reaction and improves reaction efficiency and selectivity. |
ALTERNATIVE SOLVENTSElimination of waste and hazard factors in processes and some products. |
RENEWABLE RESOURCESReplacing the traditional limited petroleum resource. |
Details on each of these areas are available by following the links above |
