Useful Tools for the Next Quarter Century of Green Chemistry Practice: A Dictionary of Terms and a Data Set of Parameters for High Value Industrial Commodity Chemicals

A dictionary consisting
of 260 commonly used terms in the green chemistry literature over
the last quarter century is compiled for easy reference in a single
source. The best available data sets of key parameters important for
evaluating the degree of greenness of chemical processes for about
300 first- and second-generation chemical feedstocks, including 75
solvents, relevant to life cycle, safety hazard, and energy consumption
assessments are also presented. Lavoisier numbers are introduced as
a new kernel material efficiency metric analogous to process mass
intensity.
