Abstract:

The effective conversion of raw materials into valuable products is made possible by catalysis, which is essential to many industrial processes.  However, classic catalytic procedures have a major impact on the environment since they frequently rely on hazardous chemicals, severe temperatures, and valuable metals.  Green catalysts, which minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and promote environmentally benign chemical reactions, are being developed in response to the growing need for sustainable and eco-friendly methods.  A viable substitute for traditional catalysts are green catalysts, which are made from plentiful and renewable resources.  The environmental impact of these catalysts can be reduced while maintaining excellent activity, selectivity, and stability.  Sustainable catalysis has applications in a number of industries, such as pollution remediation, chemical synthesis, and energy production. This review explored green catalysis and their application. Findings from this study revealed that the development of green catalysts, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), enzyme catalysts, and nanocatalysts, which enable efficient and environmentally friendly chemical processes. These catalysts have shown promising results in various applications, including biomass conversion, renewable energy production, pollution abatement, and organic synthesis. Findings from this study also indicate that green catalysts can significantly reduce waste, energy consumption, and hazardous substances. Overall, sustainable catalysis offers a promising approach to developing low-carbon industrial processes, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting environmentally friendly technologies. Future research directions include scaling up sustainable catalytic processes and integrating them with renewable energy sources. Sustainable catalysis offers a promising approach to developing environmentally friendly chemical processes. Green catalysts like MOFs, enzyme catalysts, and nanocatalysts show potential in reducing waste, energy consumption, and hazardous substances. Future research should focus on scaling up these processes and integrating them with renewable energy sources
