This second edition of the well-received volume addresses a diverse selection of topics in green chemistry, highlighting the potential and scope of green chemistry for clean and sustainable development. Covering the basics, the book discusses the benefits of environmentally friendly chemical practices and their use in industry. The book has been updated with new research, new advances, and timely references.
Specific topics include:
- eco-friendly products
- green catalysts
- ionic liquids
- supercritical fluids
- green solvents
- photo-Fenton reaction
- photocatalysis
- sonochemistry
- microwave-assisted organic synthesis
- ultrasound-assisted reactions
- green composites
- green manufacturing processes
The current and future impacts of green chemistry have also been discussed in this book.
The volume will enlighten the scientific community on the advantages the green chemistry, which including being both eco-friendly and useful on the industrial scale, by explaining how green chemistry is put into actual practice.
"The importance of becoming a ‘green society’ is now well established within and outside the scientific community. . . . This book is suited to advanced chemistry majors and practitioners; it has numerous detailed illustrations of organic transformations and emphasizes specific green processes and techniques, and ways specific named reactions can be more ecofriendly. The topics range from well-established industrial methods (e.g., sonochemistry and microwave-assisted chemistry) but not yet commonly employed. Overall, this interesting read highlights the rapid progress of green chemistry."
