Catalysis for Sustainability: Goals, Challenges, and Impacts
explores the intersection between catalytic science and sustainable
technologies as a means to addressing current economic, social, and
environmental problems. These problems include harnessing
alternative energy sources, pollution prevention and remediation,
and the manufacturing of commodity products. The book describes the
nature of catalysis regarding sustainability and presents
challenges to accomplishing sustainability as well as the
significance of proven or potential success. The contributors have
backgrounds in academia and industry to create a more integrated
picture of the issues involving sustainability and catalysis. Broad
in scope, the book covers topics such as traditional metal-mediated
catalysis, organocatalysis, biocatalysis, biomimicry, and
heterogeneous catalysis. It includes chapters dedicated to specific
research areas of catalysis as they pertain to their effectiveness,
their economic and environmental benefits, and the challenges
researchers face in actualizing solutions. It also contains a
chapter on the application of life cycle analysis to catalytic
processes, demonstrating the need to holistically consider the
sustainable impacts of a process. The book can be read in a
straightforward fashion or skimmed without forfeiting understanding
of the narrative on the strategies and intentions of research and
development. Throughout the book the requirements of sustainability
are measured by the triple bottom line of environmental, economic,
and social impacts. It highlights real-world implementations of
catalytic processes in drug development, manufacturing, polymers,
and energy. Catalysis for Sustainability: Goals, Challenges, and
Impacts is a strong and versatile text. It provides an introduction
to the field and the issues with which it is concerned, as well as
a detailed and far-reaching discussion on current achievements and
future progress.
