The U.S. has begun preparation of green chemical standards
Because the mixing barrel moves in multi
directions, there is no centrifugal force acting on the materials as well as no phenomena of gravity segregation, lamination
and accumulation of materials so that the mixing rate can be up to 99.9%. the barrel has high loading
rate, so that it features high efficient and short mixing time. the barrel transitional radius everywhere, conform to
GMP.

With this green standard, chemical manufacturers and users can measure the environmental impact and sustainable development characteristics of chemicals and their derivatives based on clear judgment conditions. Robert Pippler, director of the American Chemical Society's Green Chemistry Institute, gave a general introduction to the action plan at the National Conference of the American Chemical Society held in Washington, DC.
Pepler said that at present there are many green standards in the community that have the name of an eco-label. These standards are usually issued by certain companies, industry associations, or environmental organizations. They also have only one or two characteristics of interest, such as volatile organic compound emissions or the percentage of recyclables. But this is actually not enough. He said: "We hope to formulate a comprehensive set of multi-feature standards that can reach a broad consensus. In combination with third-party certification, we can judge those companies' self-proclaimed green products or green production processes."
Pebble said that there are currently nearly 50 organizations involved in the development of this standard, including ACS, large chemical companies, large pharmaceutical companies, industry associations such as the American Chemical Industry Council (ACC), non-profit environmental protection organizations and academia Representatives and so on. He hopes that the green standard will be certified by the National Institute of Standards (ANSI) in June 2010.
This standard will include guidelines related to process efficiency, such as consumption of raw materials, water, solvents, and energy, atmospheric emissions, solid waste generation, and product recyclability. After the determination, it can have a green product label similar to a food nutrition label or a sign similar to the energy consumption of an electrical appliance, and the label or sign can make it easy for consumers to judge the chemical products used and the green degree of the process for manufacturing these products.
The establishment of green standards has caused great repercussions in the industry. Carol Henry, a toxicologist at ACC's former member and the Society of Automotive Engineers, said: "As the degree of globalization becomes higher and higher, we must shoulder greater responsibility for the current regulations and the new regulations we are working on. Green standards will have Helps improve quality and increase competitiveness while also making innovation pay off.â€
John Warner, director of Warner Babcock's Green Chemistry Institute and chief technology officer, said: "The industry should have a way to evaluate whether a process is a true green process." But since the development of green standards involves all aspects It is very complicated, so he reminded: “The vast majority of green technologies are yet to be developed. If done well, the standards can guide innovation and lead the development of new materials and new processes; if not done well, the standards will put innovation together. The threshold will inhibit innovation."
Anne Wolin, head of the Chemicals and Life Cycle Assessment Department of the Dow Chemical Company, is also optimistic about the introduction of this standard. She said: “Social development to the present stage, we hope to be able to use resources more effectively, minimize our environmental footprint, and provide customers with more valuable products and services. Green Standards Action will provide everyone with a great opportunity to use this On a platform we can make clear and extensive exchanges of the achievements of sustainable development chemistry and engineering on a unified standard."
