Green and Sustainable Chemical Products and Processes
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green and sustainable chemistry is recognized as a fundamental research field that contributes to the pursuit of the majority of the AGENDA 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, new or redesigned chemical processes based on the principles of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering are highly desired for well-known and new chemicals, both organic and inorganic. Reliable assessments of the environmental sustainability of the proposed chemical strategies and chemical processes are, however, necessary to quantitatively demonstrate their viability, particularly in the context of the Safe and Sustainable by Design framework. We invite researchers to contribute original and review articles exploring green and environmental sustainable synthetic pathways and chemical processes at the laboratory, pilot and industrial scales, supported by trustworthy and reliable assessments of the associated environmental performances. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
