Bio

Dr. Doug Raynie is Professor and Department Head Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at South Dakota State University. He joined SDSU in 2001 following eleven years in the Corporate Research Division at Procter & Gamble. His current research focuses on the use of supercritical fluids, ionic liquids, deep eutectics, and other novel solvent systems for biomass processing and analytical separations. He is Sample Preparation Perspectives columnist for LC/GC magazine. Under his leadership, South Dakota State University become one of the inaugural signatories to the Green Chemistry Commitment, where he serves on the Advisory Board. In 2016, he received the ACS Committee on Environmental Improvement’s Award for Incorporating Sustainability into Chemistry Education.

  • Doug Raynie was just tagged in a comment: Hi Bryle – thank you for your questions. Before going to graduate school I worked in industry as an analytical chemist. It was a great experience to learn how to use different analytical instrumentation and gain some industrial perspective. However, I also found that many of the approaches used were not very sustainable and often involved the extensive use of solvents, or harsh and hazardous chemicals. I think there is still much work to do in this space – however, there have been some good advances to reduce waste and hazards in the field. We have a unit within an Introduction to Green Chemistry course here on the GCTLC that is focused on Green Analytical Chemistry: https://gctlc.org/green-chemistry-university-course-lecture-20-green-analytical-chemistry. Also, there are some community members such as @Doug Raynie  who have done fantastic work to advance green chemistry within this sub-discipline.  As far as the food industry topic. I don’t have experience working in this field. However, we do have some resources available for the K-12 level that help students in grades 3-5 understand more about food production and how our choice of food impacts our environment: https://gctlc.org/plate-planet-curriculum. That is one place to support students to think about these types of challenges early. But, I know the food industry involves much more in terms of creating artificial flavors, stabilizers, and all kinds of ingredients that go into our foods. Having a green chemistry lens within this field is critical. I would love to hear from community members if anyone knows of any research going on in this area. ...
