- Green Chemistry
- Removal of lead
- lead is removed because it is poisonous to humans in injested
- It is also a finite substance so this was very wasteful use of lead
- Titanium or Zinc is used in pain, fueal are unleaded and electronics uses Copper or Tin
- PYROCOOL - FEF
- These are used to replace CFC's in fire extinguishers because CFC's are dangerous
- These are highly biodegradable so break down easily
- Liquid carbon dioxide
- Used in dry cleaning to reduce the toxins released
- It is a lot safer from the tetrachloroethene used before as it doesn't cause cancer
- This is a good way of diposing of some of the stored carbon dioxide produces from other reactions
- Renewable fuels
- Renewable fuels take the resource that are readily available and uses them as fuels
- They also mean that there is fewer hazardous chemical released into the air
- These are fues that will never run out where as fossil fuesl are finite
- The only product from these fuels is water and this can be used in other areas
- Increased recycling
- This ensure we only use the resource we have available so they are not waster in land fill
- You can recycle these products multiple times not just once
- This means we only have to use the chemicals used to create these products once
- Removal of lead
