Green Solutions
A Catalyst article about green chemistry. Many reactions take place in solution. Water is a familiar solvent but there are many others, including a rather surprising one, carbon dioxide, which is a non-polluting ‘green’ solvent. The chemical industry relies on solvents to produce many everyday products, such as:...
Green Steel - The transition away from carbon
This information sheet gives educators background information on how the steel making process is changing in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of carbon dioxide produced in the process. It gives details on traditional steel making processes using carbon as the reductant and then discusses alternatives to...
This addition to the visually stimulating Sci-Hi series looks at the application of green technology in a wide variety of fields, from energy and manufacturing processes to transport and clothes, and it affects our lives. It looks at new materials, discoveries, and inventions, and assesses their environmental...

Green vanilla
Many of the chemicals we use as drugs, flavourings and perfumes originate from natural sources but often the most economical way of obtaining them is to produce them artificially on an industrial scale. Scientists at the University of Oxford are researching into how to...
