Green Chemistry is a term used for the process of making chemical substances in a sustainable way. The aim of green chemistry is to minimize the hazardous footprint on the environment produced by manufacturing and production of various chemical compounds. Green chemistry focuses on using less toxic materials in synthesis of chemicals by increasing efficacy of chemical synthesis and minimizing waste production. The way forward with green chemistry includes use of various potent techniques like microwave irradiation technique. The use of microwave assisted technique has brought a revolution in the field of chemical study and manufacturing. Through this technique even minute compounds and molecules can be synthesized in a fraction of time. The microwave is primarily used in heating the chemical material by conduction and dipolar polarization. The use of microwave irradiation technique is regarded as a crucial element of green chemistry because it produces clean compounds without any residual toxins. The compounds produced are very efficient as they have higher yields and better reactivity and selectivity. The microwave irradiation technique is widely used in the field of nanotechnology as well.
