The chemical industry is central to the world economy as it moves
billions of dollars a year while employing millions of people
worldwide. Some of the most relevant technologies of our society
involve the production of a chemical from a determined raw
material. Some of the chemical technologies, however, are
complicated while involving the utilization of harmful solvents or
the disposal of hazardous products to the environment. The field of
green or sustainable chemistry is receiving a significant interest
nowadays. Green chemistry is focused on the designing of cleaner
and simpler chemical processes such that they can be carried out
with minimum utilization of hazardous substances. This book offers
a compendium of sustainable chemical technologies covering some of
the most relevant processes of modern chemistry. Thus, sustainable
synthesis methods such as microwave-, infrared- or ultrasound-aided
processes, and magnetically separable substances (allowing fast and
easy separation of the catalysts from the reaction mixture) are
covered in this book. Utilization of renewable raw products (e.g.,
chitosan, biomass-derived glycerol, and green solvents) is also
covered along with some chapters describing the main principles and
metrics that any sustainable process should follow.
