The assessment of atom economy has relevance to the efficiency of a chemical reaction as it is applied in a reaction and corresponds to the most effective use of raw materials. CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry, a green chemistry company, offers atom economy assessment services on chemical reactions, assisting clients in realizing synthesis pathways to maximize resource utilization and make chemical production processes more economical and environmentally friendly.
Atomic economy is a central concept in the field of green chemistry, embodying the principle of efficient utilization of feedstocks in the design of chemical reactions. In a given chemical reaction process, atom economy effectively measures how many atoms of the feedstock are efficiently converted into the target product rather than becoming waste or by-products. This metric is quantified through atom utilization (AU), which is calculated as the ratio of the molar mass of the target product divided by the sum of the molar masses of all reactants. A higher ratio means better atom economy in the reaction process and less waste of feedstock.
In the wave of green chemistry, CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry is committed to providing professional atom economy assessment services to clients worldwide, aiming to help clients achieve efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development of chemical reactions through scientific analysis and precise optimization strategies.
We establish the objectives and scope of the evaluation project by first understanding key information such as the specific needs of the target chemical reaction, the composition of the feedstock, the target products, and the desired atom utilization.
By calculating the ratio of the molar mass of the target product to the sum of the molar masses of all reactants, we derive a preliminary atomic utilization rate and analyze the possible by-products and wastage of raw materials during the reaction.
Based on the preliminary assessment results, we provide targeted optimization suggestions in combination with green chemistry principles, such as changing the reaction conditions, screening efficient catalysts, and designing more reasonable reaction pathways, to improve the atom utilization rate and reduce environmental pollution.
We provide a detailed atom economy assessment report to clients, including the assessment results, optimization strategies, and analysis of expected benefits. At the same time, we provide ongoing support to ensure effective implementation and continuous improvement of the optimization strategy.
For different chemical reactions with different properties, we offer tailor-made evaluation services:
Linear Synthetic Process
For this type of reaction, we focus on analyzing the conversion efficiency of each step from the feedstock to the target product, ensuring that each step is as efficient and waste-free as possible.
Branched Synthesis Process
For the complex reaction network in convergent synthesis, we ignore the specific generation of intermediate products and instead focus on the overall conversion efficiency from raw materials to final products, proposing a global optimization strategy.
CD BioSciences-GreenChemistry provides atom economy assessment services that fully incorporate the concepts and principles of green chemistry, emphasizing efficient use of raw materials, waste minimization, environmental friendliness, and economic feasibility. If you are interested in our services, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to working with you to promote the development of green chemistry.
