Green Catalysis

Catalysis is the significant to sustainability. Catalyst is a matter that accelerates a chemical reaction. The application of catalysis to decline toxicity and renewable energy systems, and efficiency makes it a Centre area for green chemistry research. Green and sustainable catalyst should possess higher activity, higher selectivity, efficient recovery from reaction medium, recyclability, cost effectiveness. Currently the progress of catalysts for processes to replace conventional ones has made a significant involvement to the reduction of environmental pollutants. So, there is an increasing interest on the topic of green catalysis recently. It not only comprises evolving new catalysts which can offer stable, highly effective catalytic performances, but also considers the application of environmentally friendly catalyst preparations.
