Green Chemistry and Catalysis

In the field of science known as "green chemistry," which is also sometimes referred to as "sustainable chemistry," the goal is to create chemical products and processes that produce as few harmful substances as possible. A specific strategy to direct advancements in the field, green chemistry is not necessarily a distinct branch of chemistry. The term "catalysis" describes the use of catalysts to quicken chemical reactions. When used to speed up reactions, catalysts are distinct substances that don't change over time. To accelerate the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, for instance, potassium permanganate can be used.
