Chemistry · L5 · Green Chemistry — Sustainable Catalysis: the E-factor, asymmetric catalysis, and green solvents
Why the E-factor (mass waste / mass product) is a more complete sustainability metric than atom economy, typical E-factor ranges across industry sectors, catalytic asymmetric synthesis and the 2001 Nobel Prize (Knowles, Noyori, Sharpless), green solvent selection, and the 12 principles framework.
