Chemistry of the future and for the future

Green chemistry uses proven principles and techniques to prevent pollution at its source, ensuring sustainable development while minimizing pollution and its risks to human health and the environment. Methods and Reagents for Green Chemistry: An Introduction provides an excellent overview of recent progress in the field. A compilation of articles by renowned international experts, it:

• Focuses on three areas of green chemistry: green reagents, alternative reaction conditions, and green catalysis and biocatalysis

• Discusses real applications of current knowledge and advanced techniques

• Compares green approaches and methodologies with traditional practices

• Incorporates reviews of clean industrial processes

• Provides numerous references to facilitate further investigation of topics by readers

• Is derived from lectures at the Summer Schools on Green Chemistry held in Venice, Italy, and reflects state-of-the-art green chemistry methodologies and experiences from all over the world

An important reference for practitioners working in academia and industry, including chemists, chemical engineers, and environmental scientists, this isalso an outstanding textbook for graduate and post-graduate students in related fields.
