Abstract

This article reviews the use of natural resources in analytical chemistry throughout history. Plant extracts were employed as indicators in chemistry for identifying the acidity or alkalinity of liquids as early as the 1650s. Later, as the industrial revolution altered people’s lives, synthetic chemicals were used instead. Modern techniques of analysis have replaced conventional ones as a result of advancements in physics and technology. The industrial revolution was an era of excitement until the toxic pollutants released from industries severely damaged people and the environment. The concepts of green chemistry and green analytical chemistry were proposed as potential solutions to the problems. The use of natural extracts as chemical analysis reagents has been reconsidered recently as a sustainable alternative. While new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) will influence future trends in analytical chemistry development, the primary goal is to move toward sustainable analytical chemistry, which includes using natural reagents and reducing the amount of chemicals consumed and waste produced.

过去就是未来：从天然酸碱指示剂到可持续分析化学中的天然试剂

本文回顾了历史上自然资源在分析化学中的应用。早在 16 世纪 50 年代，化学中就使用植物提取物作为指示剂来鉴别液体的酸碱性。后来，随着工业革命改变了人们的生活，人们改用合成化学品。由于物理学和技术的进步，现代分析技术取代了传统技术。工业革命曾是一个令人兴奋的时代，直到工业排放的有毒污染物严重破坏了人类和环境。绿色化学和绿色分析化学的概念作为解决问题的潜在方案被提出。最近，人们重新考虑了使用天然提取物作为化学分析试剂，认为这是一种可持续的替代方法。虽然人工智能（AI）等新技术将影响分析化学发展的未来趋势，但其主要目标是实现可持续分析化学，包括使用天然试剂、减少化学品消耗量和废物产生量。
