give me a seminar on GREEN Nano-Technology

GREEN Nano-Technology
Green nanotechnology refers to the use of nanotechnology to enhance the environmental-sustainability of processes currently producing negative effects. Here, the products of nanotechnology are used to enhance sustainability.
Definition
A broad definition of green nanotechnology is: Green nanotechnology is the development of clean technologies, "to minimize potential environmental and human health risks associated with the manufacture and use of nanotechnology products, and to encourage replacement of existing products with new nano-products that are more environmentally friendly throughout their lifecycle." The ability to eliminate waste and toxins from production processes early on, to create more efficient and flexible solar panels, and to remove contaminants from water is becoming an exciting reality with nanotechnology. designing nanoproducts for the environment and with the environment in mind is the essence of nanotechnology.

Goals
-producing nanomaterials and products without harming the environment or human health
-producing nano-products that provide solutions to environmental problems

Green Chemistry and Green Engineering priciplea are put to use to make nanomaterials and nano-products without toxic ingredients, at low temperatures using less energy and renewable inputs. manufacturing processes for non-nano materials and products more environmentally friendly using nanotechnology. This also comes under green nanotechnology.
Nanomaterials or products directly can clean hazardous waste sites, desalinate water, treat pollutants, or sense and monitor environmental pollutants and in the indirect form, lightweight nanocomposites for automobiles and other means of transportation could save fuel and reduce materials used for production;nanotechnology-enabled fuel cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) could save power.

1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 GREEN ENGINEERING:
Green Engineering is the design, commercialization and use of processes and products that are feasible and economical while:

  Reducing the generation of pollution at the source.

  Minimizing the risk to human health and the environment.
 Green engineering embraces the concept that decisions to protect human health and the environment can have the greatest impact and cost effectiveness when applied early to the design and development phase of a process or product.
The principles of green engineering are as follows:
1) Engineer processes and products holistically, use system analysis and integrate environmental impact assessment tools.
2) Conserve and improve natural ecosystems while protecting human health and well being.
3) Use life cycle thinking in all engineering activities.
4) Ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs areas inherently safe and benign as possible.
5) Minimize depletion of natural resources.
6) Strive to prevent waste.
7) Develop and apply engineering solutions, while being cognizant of local geography aspirations and cultures.
8) Create engineering solutions beyond current and dominant technologies; improve, innovate and invent (technologies) to achieve sustainability.
9) Actively include communities and stakeholders in development of engineering solutions.
1.2 NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers current work and concepts that are more advanced. In its original sense, nanotechnology refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, highly advanced products. Nanotechnology is often referred to as a general-purpose technology. That’s because in its mature form it will have significantimpact on almost all industries and all areas of society. It offers better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer, and smarter products for the home, for communications, for medicine, for transportation, for agriculture, and for industry in general. Like electricity or computersbefore it,nanotechwill offer greatly improved efficiency in almost every facet of life. Butas a
general-purpose technology, it will be dual-use, meaning it will have many commercial uses and it also will have many military uses -- making far more powerful weapons and tools of surveillance. Thus it represents not only wonderful benefits for humanity, but also grave risks.
A key understanding of nanotechnology is that it offers not just better products, but a vastly improved means of production. A computer can make copies of data files -- essentially as many copies as you want at little or no cost. It may be only a matter of time until the manufacture of products becomes as cheap as the copying not only will allow making many high-quality products at very low cost, but it will allow making new nanofactories at the same low cost and at the speed. This unique (outside of biology, which is) ability to reproduce its own same rapid means of production is why nanotech is said to be an exponential technology. It represents a manufacturing system that will be able to make more manufacturing systems -- factories that can build factories -- rapidly, cheaply, and cleanly. The means of production will be able to reproduce exponentially, so in just a few weeks a few nanofactories conceivably could become billions. It is a revolutionary, transformative, powerful, and potentially very dangerous -- or beneficial – technology.
It is important to recognize some unique features about nanotechnology. First, it is the amalgamation of knowledge from chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, and various engineering fields. It epitomizes the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of theparts.
Second, nanoscale science and engineering span different scales. Nanostructures and nanoscale phenomena are generally embedded in micro- and macrostructures, and their interactions are important. The connection between scales—nano to micro to macro—is also a critical aspect of integration.
In addition, it is often difficult to isolate nanoscale phenomena as we do at customary scales. That is, thermal, electronic, mechanical, and chemical effects are often related to each other. By changing one, it is possible to influence the others. This, of course, emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary knowledge.
1.3 GREEN NANOTECHNOLOGY
Green nanotechnology is the development of clean technologies, "to minimize potential environmental and human health risks associated with the manufacture and use of nanotechnology products, and to encourage replacement of existing products with new nano-products that are more environmentally friendly throughout their lifecycle."
Nanotechnology is an emerging field that has great potential for use in commercial, defence and security applications. Nanomaterials and the manufacturing techniques used to create them, however, may pose adverse environmental, health and safety effects. One of the challenges facing this new industry is the design of nanomaterials and nano-manufacturing methods that provide maximum efficiency while minimizing these hazards. Merging green chemistry and nano-science will provide opportunities to meet these challenges and to develop sustainable technologies and materials.
Our goals are to implement the principles of green nano-science to:
(1) Design environmentally benign nanoparticles, test for putative toxicity and redesign as necessary; we are developing methods to prepare libraries of functionalized metal nanoparticles in which the size, shape and functionality can be widely varied. We will study the accumulation of nanoparticles within organisms and the impacts of these nanoparticles on viability, gene expression and development. These data will be used to guide the development of more benign nanoparticles for a wide range of applications. The surface of these nanoparticles will be modified which will direct self-assembly, tune electronic or optical coupling, and further enhance the biologically safety of these nanoparticles.
(2) Develop greener methods for large-scale nanoparticle production through green nano-manufacturing technologies; we will identify acceptable nanoparticle formation reactions that can be carried out in a single solvent phase and that will permit control of particle size. From these studies we will scale up production and develop an integrated micro-reactor platform for deploying the single solvent phase chemistries. We are also exploring gas-phase production of ceramic nanoparticles in micro-reactors to produce materials that should expand our capabilities to produce novel devices for sensors and medicine.
(3) Discover efficient approaches for using nanoparticles in the development of novel nano-devices; Nanomaterials are driving innovation in optical and electronic devices, however, realizing the full potential of nanoscale matter in device technologies requires the integration of the nanoscale building blocks with other components of the device. Nanostructures can also be important precursors in the low-cost and greener manufacture of more traditional micro scaledevices and to exotic new materials. Thus, developing environmentally-benign assembly methods and identifying approaches to interface nanomaterials with macroscopic structures are being explored to produce greener, high-performance devices and nanostructured materials.
A marriage of nanotechnology with green engineering serves two important purposes.
First, emerging nanotechnologies could be made clean from start. It would be foolhardy to develop a new nanotechnology infrastructure from an old industrial model that would generateanother set of environmental problems. While nanotechnology will never be as green as Mother Nature, approaching a new nano approach to the technology’s development ultimately promises to shift society into a new paradigm that is proactive, rather than reactive, when it comes to environmental problems.
Second, green technologies that benefit the environment could use nanotechnology to boost performance. In other words, nanotechnology could help us make every atom count-for example, by allowing us to create ultra-efficient catalysts, detoxify wastes, assemble useful molecular machines and efficiently convert sunlight to energy. It could potentially contribute for long term sustainability for future generations, as more green products and processes replace the old harmful and wasteful ones.
