Principles and indicators for assessing the environmental dimension of sustainability within green and sustainable chemistry

Life Cycle Impact Assessment of Solution Combustion Synthesis of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles and Its Comparison with More Conventional Strategies

“…[51] The selected impact assessment method is one of the most widely accepted and scientifically applied global methods, [52,53] since it accounts for a significantly higher number of impact categories with respect to other methods. [54] However, to frame the impacts of SCS, HSGS and NHSGS within the results obtained in the systematic study by Wu et al, [33] our inventories were re-adjusted. Particularly, they were modified in terms of some of the energy contributions, since that systematic study [33] was performed on not-replicated procedures.…”

“…The LCIA was performed by using the global scale‐oriented ReCiPe2016 method both at midpoint and endpoint levels, with a hierarchist (H) perspective and average weighting set (A) [51] . The selected impact assessment method is one of the most widely accepted and scientifically applied global methods, [52,53] since it accounts for a significantly higher number of impact categories with respect to other methods [54] …”

Innovative Bioplasticizers from Residual Cynara cardunculus L. Biomass-Derived Levulinic Acid and Their Environmental Impact Assessment by LCA Methodology

“…46 This method is one of the most widely accepted and applied global methods, 47−49 comprising a high number of impact categories. 50 ■ RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Environmental Impacts of Ketal-Diester Derivatives of Levulinic Acid 4a−e. The potential environmental impacts associated with 1 g of each of the five different bioplasticizers (4a−e in Scheme 1) are detailed at a midpoint level in Table 1.…”

“…The life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase was conducted by employing the global scale-oriented method ReCiPe2016 both at midpoint and endpoint levels, with a hierarchist (H) perspective and average weighting set (A) . This method is one of the most widely accepted and applied global methods, − comprising a high number of impact categories …”

Preparation of modified humic acid/TiO2/P(AA-co-AM) nanocomposite hydrogels with enhanced dye adsorption and photocatalysis

“…3,4 Among these methods, photocatalytic technology has emerged as an environmentally friendly and sustainable water treatment approach due to its advantages of simple operation, low energy consumption, mild reaction conditions, low toxicity, and ability to completely degrade organic dyes in water without generating secondary pollution. 5 Among various semiconductor photocatalysts, TiO 2 has been extensively studied and applied in the past few decades due to its high catalytic activity, good physicochemical stability, nontoxicity, non-harmfulness, and low cost. 6,7 However, due to the wide band gap (3.2 eV), the efficiency of TiO 2 in degrading organic pollutants through photocatalysis is significantly reduced when sunlight is directly used as the light source.…”
