Green Chemistry is a vitally important subject area in a world
where being as green and environmentally sound as possible is no
longer a luxury but a necessity. Its applications include the
design of chemical products and processes that help to reduce or
eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.
Supercritical Fluids (SCFs) and Gas-Expanded Liquids (GXLs) are
of great interest in green chemistry becauser either they are
nontoxic and non-polluting solvents (like carbon dioxide or water)
or they help one to avoid harmful intermediates through new
processing routes. This book examines the use of SCFs and GXLs in
catalysis, polymerization and many other major reactions and
processes where avoiding the use of a hazardous solvent is
beneficial for the environment and the economy. The additional
control parameters resulting from the unique physico-chemical
properties of such solvents are discussed and highlighted with
numerous examples from the current literature and applications.The
shift towards being as environmentally-friendly as possible has
resulted in the need for this important volume on the topic of
supercritical solvents. Edited by the leading experts in the field,
Professors Walter Leitner and Phil Jessop, this is an essential
resource for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the world
of green chemistry, as well as for chemists, environmental agencies
and chemical engineers.
The "Handbook of Green Chemistry" comprises of 9 volumes in
total, split into 3 subject-specific sets. The three sets are
available individually. All 9 volumes are available individually,
too.
Set I: Green Catalysis - Volume 1: Homogeneous Catalysis -
Volume 2: Heterogeneous Catalysis - Volume 3: BiocatalysisSet II:
Green Solvents - Volume 4: Supercritical Solvents - Volume 5:
Reactions in Water - Volume 6: Ionic LiquidsSet III: Green
Processes - Volume 7: Green Synthesis - Volume 8: Green Nanoscience
- Volume 9: Designing Safer Chemicals
The "Handbook of Green Chemistry" is also available as Online
Edition.
PodcastsListen to two podcasts in which Professor Paul Anastas
and Journals Editor Paul Trevorrow discuss the origin and expansion
of Green Chemistry and give an overview of "The Handbook of Green
Chemistry."
