CHEM 462/562 Green Chemistry and Processes

Credits: 2 to 3

This two-part course provides in-depth fundamentals of green chemistry and processes. Part 1 (2 credits) highlights key approaches to advancing sustainability through alternative solvents, catalysts, use of greener feedstocks, reaction efficiency, design greener syntheses, waste minimization technology, and examples of green chemistry products and processes. Part 2 (1 credit) focuses on green processes including process metrics, bioprocesses, and design greener chemical processes that reduce the impacts on human health and the environment relevant to the current state of the art. Students have the option of enrolling in Part 1 and 2 for 3 credits or enrolling in Part 1 for 2 credits.

Prerequisites: MATH 125, CHEM 326
