Course Details
• Fundamentals of Green Chemistry: An introduction to the principles and practices of green chemistry, including atom economy, less hazardous chemical syntheses, designing safer chemicals, safer solvents and auxiliaries, design for energy efficiency, use of renewable feedstocks, reduce derivatives, catalysis, and design for degradation.
• Paper Production Processes: An overview of the traditional paper production process, including pulping, bleaching, and papermaking. This unit will also cover the environmental impacts of these processes and the opportunities for green chemistry improvements.
• Sustainable Sources of Cellulose Fibers: An exploration of sustainable sources of cellulose fibers, including agricultural residues, bamboo, and other non-wood sources. This unit will also cover the challenges and opportunities associated with using these alternative fibers in papermaking.
• Green Chemistry in Papermaking: A detailed examination of how green chemistry principles can be applied to the papermaking process, including the use of safer solvents, energy-efficient processes, and the design of biodegradable coatings and additives.
• Life Cycle Assessment of Paper Products: An introduction to life cycle assessment (LCA) and its application to paper products. This unit will cover the LCA methodology, the impact categories relevant to paper production, and how to interpret LCA results to make informed decisions about the environmental performance of paper products.
• Recycling and Disposal of Paper Products: An exploration of the end-of-life options for paper products, including recycling, composting, and disposal. This unit will cover the challenges and opportunities associated with each option and the role of green chemistry in improving the environmental performance of paper products throughout their entire life cycle.
• Policy and Regulatory Framework for Green Chemistry: An overview of the policy and regulatory framework for green chemistry, including relevant laws, regulations, and standards at the international, national, and local levels. This unit will also cover the role of industry associations, NGOs, and other stakeholders in promoting the adoption of green chemistry practices
