Measuring Green Chemistry: Methods, Models, and Metrics

 

Green Chemistry, Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, Energy & Environmental ScienceChem Soc Rev and Analytical Methods are delighted to present their most recent post publication Themed Collection ➡Measuring Green Chemistry: Methods, Models, and Metrics

This cross-journal-themed collection showcases selected examples aiming to quantify the benefits and trade-offs of green chemistry by providing assessment methods, models, indicators, and metrics. The collection is intended as a guide and accessible resource for the whole chemical community while helping authors to measure, compare, and describe the advantages and disadvantages of introducing green chemistry principles and approaches in their work.

All papers included were personally selected by Green Chemistry’s Board Members André Bardow (ETH Zürich) and Serenella Sala (European Commission – Joint Research Centre), Green Chemistry’s Associate Editor Luigi Vaccaro (Università degli Studi di Perugia) and Green Chemistry’s Chair Javier Pérez-Ramírez (ETH Zürich)

The collection includes, but is not limited to, examples of application of green chemistry principles as well as methods for measuring their efficacy in improving chemicals or in selecting a preferred alternative, such as E factor, green analytical procedure Index (GAPI) processes, process mass intensity, eco-scale, techno-economic analysis, life-cycle assessment, carbon balance analysis. The collection entails example of application of individual metrics and indicators as well as multicriteria assessment and addresses as well green chemistry education.
