Green Chemistry As A Tool For Understanding The Toxic Substances Control Act: A Lecture Module For Undergraduate Students, Molly R. Blessing
Green Chemistry As A Tool For Understanding The Toxic Substances Control Act: A Lecture Module For Undergraduate Students, Molly R. Blessing
Honors Scholar Theses
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is the central form of chemical regulation existent in the United States today, yet scientists are often unaware or uncertain of its provisions. Violations of TSCA by unknowing chemists set industry and government unnecessarily at odds. A lecture on TSCA was developed for undergraduate students that uses the concept of green chemistry to promote interest and incentivize learning. Green chemistry methods are cleaner and less wasteful than traditional chemical ones, and many companies using them are at the forefront of technological innovation. The lecture explains both green chemistry and TSCA, includes company case studies, …
Synthesis, Characterization, And Catalytic Applications Of Porous Transition-Metal Oxide Systems For The Conversion Of Biomass, Anton Gudz
Honors Scholar Theses
The development of innovative strategies and environmentally-friendly resources for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals from renewable materials has recently received much interest in the scientific world. Among such resources, biomass has enormous potential as a raw material for generation of green fine chemicals to replace the petroleum feedstocks currently in place. Biomass derived carbohydrates can be converted into such valuable platform chemicals as levulinates, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), and lactates. In order to catalyze the biomass conversion process, porous transition-metal oxide catalytic systems have been developed in this study. High catalytic activities and potential for reusability of such systems …
