Green chemistry is mainly focused on the design of products that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances and also it is an area of chemistry and chemical engineering. The principle of Green Chemistry involves prevention, atom economy, less hazardous chemical syntheses, designing safer chemicals. Chemical products should be designed for their desired functions while minimizing their toxicity. The major principles in Green Chemistry are Prevention, Atom economy, less hazardous chemical synthesis, Designing safer chemicals. Safer solvents and auxiliaries, energy efficiency by design, use of renewable feed stocks, reduce derivatives, catalysis, design for degradation, real-time analysis for pollution prevention, inherently safer chemistry for accident prevention.
