Examples of the Introduction of Sustainable Development and Green Industrial Processes for Secondary School Chemistry and Introductory Chemistry
In secondary education, as well as in introductory chemistry courses in higher education, more and more attention is being given to the principles of green chemistry, as well as the ideas of sustainable development. This includes design principles like “cradle to cradle” and “cradle to grave,” as well as life cycle analysis. The general ideas are not that difficult to grasp, but concrete examples about the way these principles are used in industry are not readily available, apart from two examples, adipic acid production and aspirin production.
In close cooperation between three standing committees, the Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI), the Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE), and the Committee on Chemical Research for Applied Applied World Needs (CHEMRAWN), as well as the Chemistry and the Environment Division and the Chemistry and Human Health Division, members will work together on describing ten industrial processes in which Green Chemistry and Sustainable Development principles have played a major role in the final design of the process. Chemistry Teacher International will be the ideal platform to share these descriptions with secondary education.
