从化学工程的角度对有关过去十年的进展和可持续性的理解和应用的最新技术的学科和技术进行了广泛的回顾。到目前为止，很难找到有用的可持续性标准和现成的指导工具来设计产品、工艺和生产系统。幸运的是，在过去的十年里，一系列的实践和学科已经出现，改变了传统学科的构思方式。首先，回顾了可持续发展的概念及其对化工和过程工业的意义。然后，简要回顾了几个启发性的哲学和学科，这些哲学和学科是设计新趋势的基础，即自然步骤，仿生学，摇篮到摇篮，实现零废物，弹性工程，本质上更安全的设计，生态设计，绿色化学和自组装。手稿的核心是对迄今为止在绿色工程方面所做的工作进行了深入的回顾，包括其主要定义和应用范围，不同的指导原则，设计框架和立法方面。一系列说明性的工业应用和几个面向通用电气公司的工具进行了分析。最后，还包括一些教育方面的考虑和培训机会，提供学术和大学一级的教育可以培养足够数量的工程师和科学家，以促进未来的绿色工程和可持续发展。
A broad review of disciplines and technologies concerning the last-decade-advances and state-of-the-art in the understanding and application of sustainability from a Chemical Engineering viewpoint is presented. Up to now it was hard to find useful sustainability criteria and ready-to-use guidance tools for the design of products, processes and production systems. Fortunately, in the last decade a range of practices and disciplines have appeared transforming the way in which traditional disciplines were conceived. Firstly, a review of the concept of sustainability and its significance for the chemical and process industry is presented. Then, several inspiring philosophies and disciplines which are the basis of the new trends in design are briefly reviewed, namely, The Natural Step, Biomimicry, Cradle to Cradle, Getting to Zero Waste, Resilience Engineering, Inherently Safer Design, Ecological Design, Green Chemistry and Self-Assembly. The core of the manuscript is a deep review of what has been done in Green Engineering so far, including its main definitions and scope of application, different guiding principles, frameworks for design and legislative aspects. A range of illustrative industrial applications and several tools oriented to GE are analysed. Finally, some educational considerations and training opportunities are included, providing education at academic and university levels allows for the creation of a critical mass of engineers and scientists to foster green engineering and sustainable development in the future.
