This groundbreaking book covers the recent advances in sustainable
technologies and developments, and describes how green chemistry
and engineering practices are being applied and integrated in
various industrial sectors. Over the past decade, the population
explosion, rise in global warming, depletion of fossil fuel
resources and environmental pollution have been the major driving
force for promoting and implementing the principles of green
chemistry and sustainable engineering in all sectors ranging from
chemical to environmental sciences. It plays a growing role in the
chemical processing industries. Green chemistry and engineering are
relatively new areas focused on minimizing generations of pollution
by utilizing alternative feedstocks, developing, selecting, and
using less environmentally harmful solvents, finding new synthesis
pathways, improving selectivity in reactions, generating less
waste, avoiding the use of highly toxic compounds, and much more.
In an effort to advance the discussion of green chemistry and
engineering, this book contains 19 chapters describing greener
approaches to the design and development of processes and products.
The contributors describe the production of third generation
biofuels, sustainable and economic production of hydrogen by water
splitting using solar energy, efficient energy harvesting,
mechanisms involved in the conversion of biomass, green
nanocomposites, bio-based polymers, ionic liquids as green
solvents, sustainable nitrogen fixation, bioremediation, and much
more. The book aims at motivating chemists and engineers, as well
as postgraduate and PhD students and postdocs to pay attention to
an acute need for the implementation of green chemistry principles
in the field of chemical engineering, biomedical engineering,
agriculture, environmental engineering, chemical processing and
material sciences.
