Half-Day Course
Date & time to be announce
Dr. Doug Raynie, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This 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. Specific green approaches to analytical separations and spectroscopy, along with case studies, are presented. Finally, metrics for assessing the greenness of analytical procedures are compared.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
All scientists and managers responsible for analytical procedures will benefits from this course.

3. Green Analytical Chemistry
4. Measuring Green Analytical Chemistry
5. Green Sample Preparation
6. White Analytical Chemistry
7. Approaches to Green Analytical Chemistry
8. Solvent Alternatives and Replacements
9. Conclusions

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Douglas Raynie is Professor Emeritus and Department Head Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics at South Dakota State University. Prior to joining SDSU, he was employed for eleven years as a Senior Scientist at Procter and Gamble’s Corporate Research Division. He earned his Ph.D. at Brigham Young University under the direction of Dr. Milton L. Lee. Dr. Raynie’s research interests include high-resolution chromatography (including high-temperature LC and SFC), chromatographic sample preparation (including ASE, SFE, SPME, and SPE), chromatography theory, green chemistry, and problem-based learning in analytical chemistry. He is on the advisory board of the Green Chemistry Commitment and received the ACS Committee on Environmental Improvement Award for Incorporation of Sustainability in Chemistry Education..
