Abstract

Since its origin, green chemistry has headed the best-guiding philosophy for reducing pollution and safeguarding the environment. The twelve Principles of Green Chemistry provide us with enough tools to design sustainable transformations and implement industrial processes by means of renewable feedstocks. All these processes, to avoid or minimise waste production, require not only selective and efficient catalytic transformations with high atom and energy efficiency but also clean separation processes, and the use of non-toxic and safe products. Biocatalysts synthesized by the green chemistry and circular economy principles can constitute the most important and efficient strategy for achieving many of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. This will drive our society to a sustainable future by reducing the consumption of resources and drastically minimising the environmental impact of our recalcitrant wastes. This perspective illustrates by a series of selected examples how green and circular chemistry based on biocatalytic processes can pave synergies for sustainable development.

从绿色化学到循环化学由生物催化铺就

绿色化学自诞生以来，就引领着减少污染、保护环境的最佳指导理念。绿色化学的十二项原则为我们提供了足够的工具来设计可持续的转变，并通过可再生原料实施工业过程。为了避免或尽量减少废物的产生，所有这些过程不仅需要具有高原子效率和能源效率的选择性和高效的催化转化，还需要清洁的分离过程，以及使用无毒和安全的产品。根据绿色化学和循环经济原则合成的生物催化剂可以成为实现联合国17项可持续发展目标中许多目标的最重要和最有效的战略。通过减少资源消耗和大幅减少废物对环境的影响，这将推动我们的社会走向可持续发展的未来。这一观点通过一系列选定的例子说明了基于生物催化过程的绿色和循环化学如何能够为可持续发展铺平协同作用。

期刊介绍： Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
