Abstract

The goal of green chemistry is to decrease the environmental footprint of chemical activities. One significant problem faced is the remediation of complex organic compounds that are released into the environment. Current wastewater treatments rely upon methods, such as ozonolysis and chlorinolysis, that both require unsafe chemicals and that can often produce degradation products that are more toxic than their precursors.
