The module Benign by Design (BbD) integrates content covered in F2 Environmental Chemistry, F3 Toxicology and Ecotoxicology,
and F4 Modeling of Chemical Properties and Fate to introduce conceptual approaches for molecular de novo and re-design of
chemical compounds with reduced environmental and toxicological impact and/or improved function. Using state of the art examples
from scientific literature and practical exploration of the concept, the emphasis is laid on understanding the potential and applicability
of molecular benign by design, as well as currently still existing gaps in experimental and in silico data required for widespread
application of the approach. Another topic addressed in the module is benign by design of materials and processes and related
substance flows, material flows, and product flows. This module is thereby linking to F1 Concepts of Sustainable Chemistry, and also
linking to aspects of resource availability and circular economy covered in depth in module F8 Resources, Recycling, and Circular
Economy.

The course provides an introduction to the basics and principles of environmental chemistry. This includes an
introduction to compartments, parameters and processes to
understand and to model concentrations in the environment and basic
analytical methods as well as the distributions of certain substances in
the different compartments of the environment, namely the atmosphere,
the oceans, the soil and sediments. Furthermore, the principles of abiotic degradation reactions such as hydrolysis and direct and indirect photolysis will be discussed. The abiotic part is followed by an introduction to biotic degradation in the liquid phase and bacterial metabolism and enzymatic biodegradation. A laboratory unit focussing on the degradation of chemicals in the environment is a mandatory part of the module and will take place every year in July.

that can be extracted and transformed from renewable feedstocks requires
robust, efficient, selective, reproducible, and benign analytical approaches.
Green and sustainable separation of natural products from agro-industrial waste
is attractive considering several techno-scientific, socio-environmental and
economic aspects. In this module, the concepts of green and sustainable
analytical chemistry, especially separation of natural products will be
discussed, highlighting the main studies conducted in this topic over the last
years. Some of the principal analytical techniques, by-products and target
compounds described in the literature and considering our practice will be presented,
including the emerging green and sustainable separation approaches towards
bioeconomy, circular economy, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and
targets internationally agreed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,
focusing on selected case studies related to food production, processing and
consumption.
