Chemical Engineering for the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

Abstract

The sustainable use of natural resources is one of the most critical challenges facing modern society. Chemical engineering plays a pivotal role in ensuring that natural resources are utilized efficiently and responsibly, minimizing waste and environmental impact. This article explores how chemical engineering contributes to the sustainable use of natural resources through process optimization, resource recovery, waste minimization, and the development of green technologies. The paper discusses key strategies for improving resource efficiency and examines the future directions of chemical engineering in addressing the challenges of sustainability and resource conservation.
