CHED 93 |
| Guided by the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and a set of green chemistry metrics we report results of on-going development work in the analytical chemistry laboratory as part of the St. Olaf College chemistry department's effort to incorporate green chemistry principles throughout the curriculum. The changes necessary to incorporate green chemistry into the analytical curriculum span simple volumetric reductions, while maintaining significant figures and separation quality, to analysis methods that do not require extensive sample preparation to complete wholesale change of chemical systems. Each analytical laboratory experience carries a green chemistry rating system that includes energy use, water use, hazardous waste generation, toxicity, ozone depletion, and environmental persistence/bioaccumulation. A summary of development and implementation strategies will be discussed, as will the advantages and challenges of bringing green chemistry into the analytical curriculum. |
