CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Green Chemistry, among other things, aims at minimizing the use of hazardous chemical substances and processes, and evolving safer methods in conducting experiments in the chemical laboratories. It saves time, the quantity of chemical substances, etc. without compromising the accuracy in the analyses. Release of hazardous substances to environment affecting human health and pollution can be avoided in adopting green chemistry approaches in our laboratories. In this context, the Dept. of Chemistry is organizing a three-day workshop (MICROCHEM-2018) for the faculty members of colleges on the micro scale methods evolved over a period of time. The participants will be given hands-on training on the above techniques.
