Advances in science and technology have caused environmental degradation, which is reflected in climate change, the formation of ozone holes and the accumulation of non-degradable organic pollutants in all parts of the biosphere. In order to maintain the ability to live and act, it is necessary to find a balance between the use of natural resources, economic growth and environmental protection. "Green chemistry" is a field of chemistry that tries to find and maintain a balance with the development of technology that economically analyzes the process and materials used in production and development in order to preserve natural resources and the environment. Since nitroaromatic compounds are widely used as solvents, explosives and pharmaceutical components, their nitration with heterogeneous catalysts is presented in this paper. The influence of key parameters of the nitratin process (temperature, reagent flow rate, concentration of nitrifying agents, etc.) on the conversion of the initial substrate, the degree of nitric acid decomposition and the amount of formed oxygen was studied. In the "green" nitrating process, concentrated acids are replaced with solid catalysts such as silica, clay and zeolite in order to achieve an environmentally friendly and safer way of synthesis of nitrated aromas with good catalyst characteristics in terms of stability and activity and catalyst regeneration. Progress in the application of ecologically benign acid catalysts has been reviewed due to the importance and magnitude of the contribution to the catalytic acid reaction, and the focus of new development must be finding a new application for traditional reactions occurring in ecologically unsustainable conditions.
