The department of chemistry at the college of education for pure and applied sciences (Ibn al-Haitham) has organized an electronic training course entitled “Future chemistry with an environmental flavor: the green chemistry” that lasted for two consecutive days via the use of Google Classroom service with the contribution of a number of professors and students. The lecturers aimed to introduce the concept of green chemistry and how to benefit from as well as how to create new chemicals that benefit the environment and the chemicals that act as alternatives to other products whose manufacture processes have negative consequences for the environment.
The course also highlighted one of the most important branches of modern chemistry that cares about climate, the environment and the health of all living organisms on the planet and ways to invest renewable energies such as sunlight and vital interactions and to stay away from traditional energy sources such as oil and coal, as green chemistry is a modern branch of chemistry aimed at reducing emissions from other chemical manufacturing processes to the least extent possible. The participants recommended the need to follow-up this subject matter which aims to achieve sustainable development through the use of renewable sources in industrial processes so as to produce environmentally friendly and safe products to reduce pollution risks and provide bio-energy, recycling edible oil after using it in the production of biodiesel as well as the use of orange & citrus peel in the production of many chemicals instead of wasting them.
