Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much
in recent years that topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis,
metal organic frameworks, and process intensification, which were
barely mentioned in the First Edition, have become major areas of
research. In addition, government funding has ramped up the
development of fuel cells and biofuels. This reflects the evolving
focus from pollution remediation to pollution prevention. Copiously
illustrated with more than 800 figures, the Third Edition provides
an update from the frontiers of the field. It features
supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter relevant to the
chemical examples introduced in each chapter. Particular attention
is paid to a new concluding chapter on the use of green metrics as
an objective tool to demonstrate proof of synthesis plan efficiency
and to identify where further improvements can be made through
fully worked examples relevant to the chemical industry. NEW AND
EXPANDED RESEARCH TOPICS Metal-organic frameworks Metrics Solid
acids for alkylation of isobutene by butanes Carbon molecular
sieves Mixed micro- and mesoporous solids Organocatalysis Process
intensification and gas phase enzymatic reactions Hydrogen storage
for fuel cells Reactive distillation Catalysts in action on an
atomic scale UPDATED AND EXPANDED CURRENT EVENTS TOPICS Industry
resistance to inherently safer chemistry Nuclear power Removal of
mercury from vaccines Removal of mercury and lead from primary
explosives Biofuels Uses for surplus glycerol New hard materials to
reduce wear Electronic waste Smart growth The book covers
traditional green chemistry topics, including catalysis, benign
solvents, and alternative feedstocks. It also discusses relevant
but less frequently covered topics with chapters such as "Chemistry
of Long Wear" and "Population and the Environment." This coverage
highlights the importance of chemistry to everyday life and
demonstrates the benefits the expanded exploitation of green
chemistry can have for society.

When confronted with a problem in science, the way to proceed is
not always obvious. The problem may seem intractable or there may
be many possible solutions, with some better than others.
Problem-Solving Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry
teaches students how to analyze and solve real-world problems that
occur in an environmental context, and it encourages creativity in
developing solutions to situations based on events that have
actually taken place. The problems described in this book are
relevant and stimulating in learning and understanding the
principles of green and sustainable chemistry. They address various
aspects of the field, including: Toxicity Waste generation and
disposal Chemical accidents Energy efficiency New policy
development The final chapter contains proposed solutions to the
presented problems and provides commentaries and references to
relevant literature. This book also prompts students to become more
comfortable with the idea of multiple "correct" answers to
problems. It emphasizes the reality that green chemistry is about
making practical decisions and weighing multiple factors that are
often conflicting, thus making it difficult or impossible to apply
one perfect solution to a given situation. Problem-Solving
Exercises in Green and Sustainable Chemistry prepares students to
solve challenging problems, whether as green chemists, as
architects designing energy-efficient buildings, or as
environmentally-conscious citizens.
