Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Queen's University
$200,000.00
Green Chemistry
FY 2019-20
Summary
No-one wants pollution but almost everyone wants the benefits of modern technology, materials, and medicines. While traditional pollution prevention techniques captured pollutants before they could escape, green chemists redesign chemical processes and products so that pollutants are not created in the first place. Dr. Jessops research is aimed at designing more efficient and greener materials, solvents, and methods for chemical manufacturing to reduce the consumption of resources, the usage of energy, and the production of damaging pollutants. In particular, he will focus on solvents, solid surfaces, and the recycling of waste carbon dioxide.
