Monday, Nov. 13; 8:30am – 5:00pm
Dr. Doug Raynie, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This short course is designed to provide participants with an overview of green chemistry and an application of green chemistry principles to analytical methods. Solvent concerns and means to address the environmental, health, and safety concerns of solvent use are discussed. Metrics for assessing the greenness of analytical procedures are compared and evaluated as a strategy for developing green methods.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Laboratory technicians and managers, especially those interesting in learning approaches to develop new analytical procedures, or modify existing approaches, with green chemistry attributes. This is especially important in the pharmaceutical and environmental industries.
