few green chemistry awards for year 2013 are mentioned below.
A biomolecular and chemical engineering professor Richard P.
Wool, at the Delaware University is one among the 2013 Presidential Green
Chemistry Challenge Awards award winners in US. He received this Academic Award
for using computational designs plans to direct the discovery of an assortment
of low-toxicity, biobased polymers and some other materials. His associates use
feedstocks like vegetable oil, wool, flax fiber and chicken feathers to make plastics,
adhesives, synthetic leather and foams that result into products such as
circuit boards, automobiles, shoes and roofing materials.
Small Business Award was given to Faraday Technology which is
developed in Clayton, Ohio. It is given for its revolutionary procedure to
deposit chrome covering on metals and such materials that escape using
hexavalent chromium that is carcinogenic; as a replacement for, Faraday uses not
as much toxic trivalent chromium for plating electrolyte.
Dow Chemical the chemical industry corporation is awarded
with Greener Reaction Conditions Award for the sake of developing Evoque, a co-polymer
covering for titanium dioxide dye particles. This covering helps in separating
the pigment particles in improving paint structure by reducing the quantity of
TiO2 needed.
