绿色化学研究与生态环境保护

绿色化学是指利用一系列原理来降低或消除在化工产品的设计、生产及应用中有害物质的使用和产生的科学。它致力于从源头上制止污染物的生成。文章从非传统的绿色原材料、溶剂、试剂、催化剂、安全化学品及合成方法方面综述了绿色化学的研究进展。绿色化学从材料和能源的内在性质上面对生态环境问题的挑战，在分子水平上设计结构及其相关的性质，通过减少内在的危害而使生态系统的发展具有可持续性。发展绿色化学是实现生态环境保护的途径。

Green chemistry:designed for the environment

Green chemistry designed for the environment has arisen as a result of the concern for the chemical industry that post a risk to the environment. Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and process that reduce or eliminate the use and genera-tion of hazardous substances and tries to prevent the pollution from beginning. This article reviewed the recent research and devel-opment of Green chemistry including green feedstock, solvents, catalysis, regents, product and synthetic methodology. Facing serious challenge to ecological environmental sustainability such as resource depletion, global climate change and toxics generation and dispersion, green chemistry is engaged in facing these challenges by addressing the intrinsic nature of materials and energy to make them more sustainable. Green chemistry fulfills a fundamental role that is essential to the critical pathway toward sustainability, through appropriate design of the structure and its associated properties at molecular level.
