Future Trends in Green Chemistry
Green chemistry is more and more an essential science for the development of chemical processes. In fact, it is becoming urgent to use processes that have little or no impact on our environment, our health and more generally our planet. The situation is alarming and green chemistry is a recent fundamental science to preserve life on earth. Green chemistry can be defined as the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry must be applied across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal. As a contrary of the cleaning treatment, green chemistry reduces pollution at its source by minimizing or eliminating the hazards of chemical feedstocks, reagents, solvents, and products.
This Webinar will present some new development in green chemistry concerning the use of natural products, renewable resources, biomaterials, the description of reaction in green solvent, etc but also green technologies for analysis or different kind of processing.

Prof. Dr. Gilles Mailhot
Institut de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand, Université Clermont Auvergne / CNRS, France;
Gilles Mailhot is CNRS research director at the Institute of Chemistry in Clermont-Ferrand (France), a laboratory of the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA). He is also associate researcher at the Observatory of Physics of the Globe in Clermont-Ferrand (OPGC), UMS UCA-CNRS. His main research interests focus on water chemistry and photochemistry applied to environmental chemistry, atmospheric chemistry and advanced oxidation processes for water treatment. He is co-author of more than 180 original papers in international peer-reviewed journals (Hindex 47 and more than 7250 citations). During his career, he spent one year at the University of California, Berkeley (USA), three months at the University of Fudan in Shanghai and four months at the University of Wuhan, Wuhan (China) as a researcher and visiting professor. He was Director of the Federation of Environmental Research labelled by the Ministry of Research and Higher Education, CNRS and INRAE. This highly multidisciplinary federation brings together more than 450 people belonging to 18 research units at the Clermont-Ferrand site. From 2016 to 2019, I was also president of the ANR (Research national Agency in France) selection committee for theoretical chemistry, analytical chemistry and methodology.

Organizer
On Thursday, 23 June 2022, MDPI and the Molecules Journal organized the 8th webinar on Molecules, entitled "Future Trends in Green Chemistry". The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Prof. Dr. Gilles Mailhot. The first speaker was Prof. Dr. Giancarlo Cravotto with his presentation "Enabling Technologies: True Allies in Green Chemical Processes". The second presentation was held by Dr. Federica Menegazzo with her presentation "Biochars as Support of Catalysts for Biomass Valorization". The third speaker was Dr. Matej Baláž with his presentation "Mechanochemistry as Efficient Tool for the Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Waste Valorization". The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair Prof. Dr. Gilles Mailhot. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend.
