Mechanochemistry: Physical Catalyst Makes Going Green Good Science

New research hopes to create reactions necessary for industries such as pharmaceutical companies but eliminate the resulting waste from traditional methods.   Traditional methods – dating back thousands of years – involve using solutions to speed up chemical reactions that are used to make products that we use every day. However, the leftover waste or solvents can often be a volatile compound.  Disposal and recycling is also becoming a growing and more costly challenge for companies as they follow increasing federal environmental regulations.  read more
