If reactions for the chemical industry were to take place without solvents, an enormous amount of environmentally harmful or even toxic waste could be saved. Prof. Dr. Lars Borchardt has shown how .
A combination of photochemistry and mechanochemistry saves 98 per cent solvent and 80 per cent energy in a number of reactions. What’s more, the process takes less time than it does in solution. .
A combination of mechanochemistry and photochemistry saves 80% energy and 98% solvent in various reactions. Also, the process consumes less time compared to the duration it does in solution.
