Green Chemistry at the Microscale: Driving sustainability consciousness and Engagement in Higher Education

Author(s) Ms. Amita Joshi
Country India
Abstract Green Chemistry refers to the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances and integrates sustainability into the fundamental design of the chemical processes. The intellectual and philosophical foundation of green chemistry was laid down by Paul Anastas and John Warner in the form of twelve principles of green chemistry in 1998. The Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) emerged from these twelve principles and applies them to analytical methods. For smooth application of these principles, they were revised in 2013 by Gałuszka, Migaszewski, and Namieśnik in the form of SIGNIFICANCE mnemonic so that they could be easily applied in the analytical processes being carried out in the laboratories at every level. The present study has been carried out for a period of three years using microscale analytical techniques namely spot analysis, double burette titration and Middleton method. The main focus was on exploring student interest and sustainability consciousness by generating little waste, increased safety for operator and eliminating toxic reagents while carrying out the experiments in the chemistry laboratory. The students’ responses were assessed through semi structured interviews, questionnaires and observation of laboratory practices. The results demonstrated that these microscale techniques heightened interest and engagement in laboratory work amongst the students by 60% and increased sustainability awareness by 65%. The study concludes that incorporating microscale techniques of GAC in laboratories of higher education institutes can enhance students’ engagement with interest in laboratory work and increase ethical responsibility for sustainable practices.
