Sustainable Chemistry and Mechanochemistry Research Institute
Mechanochemistry has a truly unique potential to lead to "green" and sustainable chemical reactions at academic and industrial scales. Mechanochemical reactions can be conducted without solvents (or with drastically reduced amounts), so considerably less chemical waste and environmental pollution are generated. Mechanochemical reactions are typically cheaper, safer, and considerably faster than solution reactions. The use of water is also reduced.
