Crude algal biomass for the generation of thin-film composite solvent-resistant nanofiltration membranes

Green synthesis of hypercrosslinked polymers for CO2 capture and conversion: recent advances, opportunities, and challenges

“…According to the Sustainable Development Goals required by the United Nations and the 12 principles of green chemistry and engineering, the preparation of green and low-pollution materials is the future trend. 62–68 In general, the preparation process of HCPs does not require high-temperature and high-pressure reactions, which avoids energy consumption. However, traditional preparation methods need to use Lewis acids as catalysts, unnatural aromatic compounds as monomers, and organic compounds containing halogen elements as solvents.…”

The 12 principles of green membrane materials and processes for realizing the United Nations' sustainable development goals

“…Green metrics and health, safety, and environment pictogram-based semiquantitative comparison analyses for assessing the relative sustainability of membrane materials and processes have been developed. [4][5][6] The obtained values should be used with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, they can provide some comparison between materials and processes and assist in sustainable decision-making.…”
