Green Chemicals

PRINCIPLES OF GREEN CHEMISTRY

The term green chemistry is defined as:The invention, design and application of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

The twelve tenets that form the basis of designing green chemical products and processes are :

• Prevent waste
• Design safer chemicals and products
• Design less hazardous chemical syntheses
• Use renewable feedstock's
• Use catalysts, not stoichiometric reagents
• Avoid chemical derivatives.
• Maximize atom economy
• Use safer solvents and reaction conditions
• Increase energy efficiency
• Design chemicals and products to degrade after use
• Analyze in real time to prevent pollution
• Minimize the potential for accidents

THERMAX OFFERS RANGE OF GREEN CHEMICALS FOR BOILER WATER AND COOLING WATER TREATMENT

GREEN SCALE AND CORROSION INHIBITOR,OXYGEN SCAVENGERS AND NEUTRALIZERS

Green chemistry is used to design new inhibitors, oxygen scavengers and neutralizers with regard to the following criteria.

• Contains no heavy metals
• Eliminates costs or removal of toxic chemical and sludge disposal
• Provides corrosion and scale protection
• Provides more efficient heat transfer
• Conserves water through higher cycles of Concentration
• Offers low dosage economy
• Offers simple and easy operator control
• It has longer retention time period.

GREEN BIOCIDES

Biocides are typically used in industrial applications to control the growth of microorganisms that can cause a variety of problems in process water systems.

New and relatively benign class of biocides has been developed which posses the following characteristics

• Does not bio accumulate in the environment
• Are inherently biodegradable
• Will not cause problems either to effluent treatment plants or to the environment following discharge into waste water
• Provides more efficient heat transfer
• Rapidly breaks down in the environment through hydrolysis, oxi¬dation, photo degradation and biodegradation.
• Do not contain volatile organic compounds
