Descriptif
This course addresses an overview of green chemistry, alternative solvents and biotechnology. Main principles of rising processes turning current chemistry to green chemistry will be presented. Special focus will be addressed to supercritical processes and biotechnology. Alternative solvents such as supercritical fluids will be introduced for the application of supercritical fluids in pharmaceuticals and polymer industries. Learning the fundamental concepts of bioprocesses will be used to develop various bioproducts such as organic solvents, industrial alcohols, biopolymers, antibiotics, enzymes and proteins among others. In addition to these main principles, carbon footprint and REACH will be introduced. Then green chemistry metrics and life cycle assessment principles will be detailed.
Objectifs pédagogiques
