ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY (SH 103): Sustainable Chemistry
An Introduction to Sustainable Chemistry
Welcome to the fifth module of Engineering Chemistry (SH 103). This chapter introduces the principles of Sustainable Chemistry, a critical field for modern engineering.
We will begin with Green Chemistry, exploring its foundational principles for designing safer, more efficient, and environmentally benign chemical processes. This is followed by a detailed look at Water Chemistry, covering quality standards, hardness, scale formation, and the significant challenges of water pollution from various sources, including heavy metals and plastics. We will also discuss methods for treating industrial wastewater.
The chapter also addresses Air Pollution, identifying key pollutants like SOX, NOX, and GHGs, and their environmental impacts. Finally, we will cover Waste Management, focusing on the segregation of solid waste, energy recovery from biodegradable waste, and the growing challenge of e-waste management.
