ACS GCI's 12 Principles of Green Chemistry — from atom economy to design for degradation — have become the global framework for sustainable synthesis. The Green Chemistry & Engineering conference brings industry + academia together annually.

Froth flotation chemistry separates copper ore from gangue — xanthate collectors selectively bind to sulfide minerals, attaching them to air bubbles. Without these molecules, battery-grade copper stays in the rock.
