2.  Introduction
 Green Chemistry Principles
 Applications of Green Chemistry
 Industrial integration
 Environmentally friendly catalysis
 Biomass
 Conclusion

3.  Sustainability is a problem for the industry
 Increasing awareness of people
 Related with my field studies

4.  Major aims:
• Prevention of wastes
• Increase energy efficiency
• Cheaper processes
• Reduced risks

5.  Classical methods pollute environment
 ‘Old school’ chemistry is not efficient enough
 Maximized sustainability

6.  They speed up chemical reactions
 Used alot in chemical industry
 Increases productivity
 Lowers capital use

7.  Wastes are materials that we can’t make use of
them
 They are produced undesirably while we are
trying to get our product
 They pollute our environment

11.  “One plant’s waste is other plant’s raw material”
approach
 Eliminates the waste
 Reduces the operating costs

13.  Also called “green catalysis”
 Has alot of advantages when compared to
classical type of catalysis
 Recently found method (~15 years)

14.  Named as “Homogeneous Catalysis”
 They are dumped to environment after use
 Causing huge pollution problems
 Financially ineffective

15.  Named as “Heterogeneous Catalysis”
 Can be used over and over
 Increases productivity
 Saves alot of money

17. • Environmentally Friendly Catalysis:
• Subsequently reduced the catalyst costs
• Has earned the second biggest share in the market
• With high selectivity, operating costs went down

19.  Bio-Mass;
 Uses the living organisms (vegetables and plants) to
get useful energy
 Has a great potential to;
 Be developed in the industry
 Solve the current sustainability problems
 Completely “green”

20.  Green chemistry is very environmental friendly
and efficient
 Green Chemistry Applications
 Industrial integration
 Environmentally friendly catalysis
 Biomass
 Apply green chemistry to;
 reduce fuel oil consumption
 prevent the damage to environment

21.  I designed the end product such that:
 All people can access
 Information will be easy to follow
 People will be aware of situation after visiting
 Hopefully people who are aware, will take action

22.  Since it is a new topic,
 Available data for industry changes in time
 Amount of information is scarce;
 Some companies keep their data as secret
 Available sources are hard to reach
