Özet

The chemical industry is one of the most powerful and diverse parts of all manufacturing industries (Jenck, et al.2004, Clark and Macquarrie 2002, Anastas and Warner 1998). The chemicals are used to produce healthcare products in industries related to pharmaceuticals, food & fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides in agriculture textile, transport, aerospace, soaps & detergents, shipping, electronics, ammunitions, building & road materials, aerospace, and many other areas (Commoner, 2013, Theodore, and Kunz, 2005). We can say that starting from the last quarter of the 18th century to the 2025, the chemical industry has seen many ups and downs and now it is considered as ‘central discipline’ that links all branches of science including medicine, agriculture, biology, physics and material sciences, and all branches of basic and applied sciences, until to date (Downs, and Vogel 1993, National Academies of Sciences, 2022). . All powerful countries have virtually very strong base in chemical manufacturing industries and have a very large share in the economies of industrially developed countries. (Downs, and Vogel 1993). It is well established that demand for people in this century has increased in this century, and this has opened a very difficult time chemistry or producing diverse chemicals. Scientists and economists know that the demand for chemical products is constantly growing (Das, and Ghosh, 2024, Zhu, 2024). Some states are emerging in South, far East and western countries with large populations and economies (Shu, et al. (2024). They seek to improve standards of life and increase high standards of the healthcare sector, living in the housing sector, comfortable clothing and using utility in consumer goods equivalent to the people enjoying in the most developed western countries. This has induced unprecedented and huge pressure on all types of chemical industry, so the chemicals used should be considerably clean, safe, sustainable, made according to the biosafety rules considering compatibility with the environment (Lobel, et al. 2024) in line with 12 principles of green chemistry as mentioned below (United States Environmental Protection Agency, Basics of Green Chemistry, 2017, Krasnodebski, (2024
