Green analytical chemistry is a widely recognized concept that has led to the development of new analytical methods with reduced environmental impact and minimized analyst occupational exposure. Achievements include the development of microextraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) techniques. Research towards greener separation processes focuses on the elimination of toxic solvents in liquid chromatography (LC) and the reduction of separation time. The recent developments in the labelling and categorization of analytical procedures are also presented. The National Environmental Methods Index (NEMI), Eco-Scale, and grouping with multivariate statistics are discussed together with their advantages and limitations. This article presents the most recent progress in the development of greener sample preparation and chromatographic separation techniques.
