Green Chemistry and Catalysis

Abstract

The development of chemical goods and procedures that lessen or do away with the use and production of hazardous materials is known as green chemistry, often referred to as sustainable chemistry. Only environmentally safe chemicals and chemical processes are employed. It is based on twelve principles that can be used to build or copy molecules, materials, reactions, and processes that are more beneficial to human health and the environment. Green chemistry lessens the impact of chemical processes and technology on the environment, as this article explains. The goal of this review is to gain a better understanding of how catalysts work in green chemical synthesis and how they might contribute to the development of a more sustainable future. The ecologically friendly synthesis of both new and old compounds depends on catalysis. Catalyzed processes appear to be more efficient because they require less energy and produce fewer byproducts, coproducts, and other waste products. It is possible to create ecologically friendly catalysts. There are many different types and sizes of catalysts, and some of them are useful in the chemical industry.
