Abstract

This review explores the contributions of natural resources with diverse disciplines which offers the insights into the design of greener chemical analysis. The discussion was focused on the published works in our group where a diverse range of natural reagents used in the determination of various environmental analytes has been highlighted, aiming to discuss the initiatives and applicability of the usage of alternative natural reagents and substitute synthetic methods in optimizing analytical processes, which in turn would lead to cost-effective and time-efficient in handling analytes assay. By exploring the potential of natural reagents, the sustainability in green chemical analysis could be promised in coming near future, especially in convincing for the talent and challenge for ASEAN in this new normal chemical analysis.


Keywords: green analytical chemistry, natural reagent, natural material, local wisdom, sustainable chemistry

 

Abstrak

Ulasan ini membincangkan sumbangan reagen semula jadi dalam pelbagai disiplin ilmu yang dapat memberikan gambaran mengenai analisis kimia hijau. Perbincangan in fokus kepada penerbitan yang telah diterbitkan oleh kumpulan kami di mana beberapa jenis reagen semula jadi yang digunakan dalam penentuan pelbagai analit persekitaran akan diutamakan, bagi membincangkan inisiatif dan penerapan penggunaan reagen semulajadi alternatif dan kaedah sintetik gantian dalam mengoptimumkan proses analisis, supaya analisis dapat dikendalikan secara kos efektif dan cekap masa. Dengan menerokai potensi reagen semula jadi, kesinambungan dalam analisis kimia hijau akan dapat dijanjikan dalam masa terdekat terutamanya dapat memberikan keyakinan dalam bakat dan cabaran di ASEAN dari segi analisis kimia di norma baru ini.

 

Kata kunci: kimia analisis hijau, reagen semula jadi, bahan semula jadi, kebijaksaan tempatan, kimia kelestarian
