摘要:

介绍了2010年美国总统绿色化学挑战奖获奖项目的创新与价值。5个奖项分别是：①Dow化学品公司和BASF公司，因为联合开发了环境友好的用过氧化氢生产环氧丙烷的生产工艺，而被授予合成路线奖。②Merck集团和Codexis公司，由于研发出改性转氨酶，使西他列汀的绿色生产工艺成为可能，而被授予绿色反应条件奖。③Clarke公司开发了Natular牌的改性杀幼虫剂，该杀虫剂可以杀死水中的蚊子幼虫，提高了人类的生活质量，因而被授予绿色化学品设计奖。④LS9公司利用微生物技术在石油基柴油基础上生产出可再生燃料和化学品，并且在该燃料中去除了苯、硫和重金属，因而被授予小企业奖。⑤加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的教授，J.C. Liao博士因为研究利用二氧化碳生物合成低碳醇的方法而被授予年度学术奖。。
