Green chemistry, also known as sustainable chemistry, focuses on designing products and processes that minimize environmental impact and reduce the use of hazardous substances. Catalysts play a crucial role in chemical reactions by increasing reaction rates and selectivity, and their design and use in a sustainable manner align with the principles of green chemistry.
In this context, department of chemistry organized one-day seminar on “Green Chemistry of Sustainable Catalysts – Treatment of non-degradable pollutants and value-added conversion” on 9-12-2023 at CTUAP Seminar Hall. Prof. Sreekantha B. Jonnalagadda, Department of Chemistry & Physics, University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa was the distinguished speaker of the event. The program was graced by Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Prof. T.V. Kattimani and delivered his presidential remarks.
