It has been over ten years for the green chemistry and clean production became a popular research subject in China. The researchers have made astounding achievements in several sectors such as controlling pollution from the source, alleviating the influence of the chemical processes to the environment, contributing an important part to the development of modern chemical industry in China. The general scientific strategy research on intrinsic safety and clean production under the green chemistry framework is a must for China to develop a healthy chemical industry and to protect its environment. Through this research, we aim at establishing an effective and feasible scientific strategy for the coordinated development of clean production and intrinsic safety technology, extending beyond single research subject to get ideas and technology support from multiple academic sectors. Regarding the national science development strategy, we have put forward the coordinated development of intrinsic safety and clean production in combination with their common characteristics.

Allyl saccharide/vinyl copolymers were synthesized using renewable feedstocks (α,α′-trehalose and d -glucose) to obtain ‘green monomers’. Properly designed synthetic procedures were used to obtain copolymers with high purity and without protection/deprotection steps in agreement with the principles of green chemistry and industrial sustainability. The use of saccharide derivatives as monomers allowed products to be obtained that showed high affinity and compatibility for the cellulosic substrates, like paper or wood, and that were suitable for applications like adhesion or consolidation in the field of cultural heritage. All reaction products were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopies and SEC analyses, while thermal properties were evaluated by DSC analyses.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kelayakan LKPD yang dikembangkan untuk melatihkanketerampilan proses sains berwawasan green chemistry pada materi asam basa. LKPD ini disusunberdasarkan komponen keterampilan proses sains, yang dilatihkan yaitu mengamati, membuat hipotesis,merencanaan penelitian, mengklasifikasi, menginterpretasi data dan menyusun kesimpulan. Prinsip greenchemistry pada penelitian ini dibatasi hanya 3 prinsip yaitu prinsip no.1 tentang mencegah/mengurangilimbah, no.7 penggunaan bahan baku yang dapat diperbaharui dan no.12 mencegah/mengurangiterjadinya kecelakaan kerja. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan model 4-D (define, design, developdan desseminate) namun, pada penelitian ini hanya dibatasi sampai tahap develop dan dilakukan ujiterbatas terhadap 12 peserta didik kelas XI IPA SMA Negeri 14 Surabaya. Kelayakan LKPD yangdibahas meliputi: 1) validitas yang ditinjau dari validitas isi dan validitas konstruk, 2) kepraktisan yangditinjau dari aktivitas peserta didik dan angket respon peserta didik, serta 3) keefektifan yang ditinjau darites keterampilan proses sains (pretest dan posttest). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelayakanLKPD ditinjau dari validitas isi dikatakan valid dengan persentase 80,36% dan validitas konstruk dalamkategori sangat valid dengan persentase rata-rata keseluruhan 83,89%. Kepraktisan yang ditinjau dariaktivitas peserta didik dan respon peserta didik memperoleh hasil yang sangat praktis dengan presentase90,28% dan 95,49%. Keefektifan yang ditinjau dari hasil tes keterampilan proses sains mendapatkan ngain score berkisar antara 0,66-0,88 dengan kategori sedang-tinggi sehingga pengembangan LKPDdikatakan layak untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran.Kata kunci: Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD), Keterampilan Proses Sains, dan Green Chemistry. AbstractThe aims of this study is describe developed worksheet to practice science process skills oriented greenchemistry on acid base material. This worksheet was arranged based on the components of scienceprocess skills, mainly; doing observation, making hypotheses, planning research, classifying data, andmaking conclutions. The principles of green chemistry in this study were limited to 3 principles such asnumber 1 about waste prevention, number 7 about using of renewable feedstocks, and number 12 aboutconditioning for accident prevention. The design of this study is used a 4-D (define, design, develop anddesseminate), however, this study is only limited to develop and conduct a limited test of 12 students ofclass XI IPA SMA 14 Surabaya. The feasibility of worksheet discussed includes: 1) validity in terms ofcontent validity and construct validity, 2) practicality in terms of student activities and studentquestionnaire responses, and 3) effectivity in terms of science process skills tests (pretest and posttest).The results showed that the feasibility of worksheet in terms of content validity was said to be valid with apercentage of 80.36% and construct validity was said to be very valid with an overall average percentageof 83.89%. Practicality in terms of student activities and student responses obtained very practical resultswith a percentage of 90.28% and 95.49%. The effectiveness in terms of the results of the science processskills test got n-gain score ranging from 0.66-0.88 on the medium-high category so that the developmentof worksheet is feasible use in learning.Key words: Student Worksheet, Science Process Skills, Green Chemistry

AbstractThe development of chemistry is closely related to the sustainable development of human civilization. The problems of exposure to chemicals on the human body are complex. Humans are potentially more susceptible to the damaging effects of chemical pollution if they are in a weakened physical or mental state (already in a state of physical or mental stress). One of the approaches, that simultaneously addresses both of the above mentioned issues, is the green chemistry concept. Governmental regulation should be seen as a framework mechanism. We see great potential in using the principles of green chemistry in the framework of the Responsible Care program. Green chemistry is a tool for the sustainable development of chemistry and the chemical industry.

Abstract In the foreseeable future, human beings will continue to live on this blue planet named Earth. Our planet has limited space, resources and environmental carrying capacity, yet the human population and quality of life will continue to rise. Economic development and environmental protection are often conflicting goals, and it is a great challenge for us to achieve both at the same time: to develop sustainably. Green chemistry—the aim of making the whole industrial chain of chemistry and chemical industry environmentally friendly—has contributed, and will further contribute, to the sustainable development of the chemical industry. Recently, NSR talked with Buxing Han—an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the leading scientists in this field. Han introduced the major scientific issues of green chemistry and talked about the challenges and future developments of this field.
