Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focusing on sustainable practices due to growing environmental concerns and the need to reduce waste and energy consumption. Green synthesis methods, which aim to minimize the environmental footprint of drug production, are gaining traction in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Chemical engineering plays a crucial role in advancing green synthesis technologies by developing more efficient and environmentally friendly processes. This article explores the latest advances in chemical engineering for green synthesis in the pharmaceutical industry, including the use of renewable feedstocks, solvent-free reactions, and energy-efficient techniques. It also discusses the challenges and future directions for the integration of green synthesis into mainstream pharmaceutical production.
