ABSTRACT

The research orientation in the field of green chemistry still follows 12 principles: replacing toxic substances with green substances at nodes such as raw materials, reaction reagents, catalysts, synthesis routes and products. Another obvious research trend is to closely combine or utilize biotechnology for the synthesis of chemical products, and the key to the application of biosynthesis is to find suitable biocatalysts.
