Sustainable Green Chemistry, the 1st volume of Green Chemical
Processing, covers several key aspects of modern green processing.
The scope of this volume goes beyond bio- and organic chemistry,
highlighting the ecological and economic benefits of enhanced
sustainability in such diverse fields as petrochemistry, metal
production and wastewater treatment. The authors discuss recent
progresses and challenges in the implementation of green chemical
processes as well as their transfer from academia to industry and
teaching at all levels. Selected successes in the greening of
established processes and reactions are presented, including the
use of switchable polarity solvents, actinide recovery using ionic
liquids, and the removal of the ubiquitous bisphenol A molecule
from effluent streams by phytodegradation.

Industrial Chemistry examines the chemical processes performed in
industry and looks at how they affect our livesby discussing the
by-products, pollution/waste generation, and attempts at making
processes more ecologically friendly, or "greener." The author
establishes connections between basic chemistry and the chemical
processes that are used in real life. This 2nd Edition includes
numerous expanded and revised chapters, e.g. on fuel production.
This book is an introductory work on the broad topics included in
Materials Science. It encompasses a number of different materials
classes and properties with a focus on the structure-property
relationships between them. Each class of materials will include
and discuss recycling techniques and other green methods of
production. Materials Chemistry: For Scientists and Engineers is
ideal for all newcomers to the fi eld as well as for those seeking
a knowledge of solid state chemistry.
This book focuses on the processes and materials behind energy
technologies. The author details the underlying chemistry of
renewable sources, such as biofuels and wind power, as well as the
traditionally used coal and gas. Chapters on energy storage
technologies and the connection between energy generation and
climate change round off this uniquely concise overview of the
relationship between chemistry and energy.
Industrial Catalysis provides an excellent introduction to
catalytic principles and processes, addressing the applications of
inorganic-, organic- and biocatalysts in industrial chemistry. Each
chapter is focussed on one catalytic process and discusses its life
cycle from source materials, catalyst synthesis, the catalytic
process, lifetime and recovery. The book also includes a
comprehensive overview on industrial processes employing catalysis.
Metals and Alloys continues the series of graduate textbooks on
Industrial Chemistry by Mark A. Benvenuto. It shows the essential
industrial applications, processes and chemistry background for the
extraction of metals, as well as the production and applications of
alloys. The book discusses how large scale and minor processes
affect every-day life, challenges in prevention and removal of
waste by-products and illustrates selected chemical processes for
which efforts have been made to improve and "green" industrial
production of metals and alloys. Sources for metals are sorted by
metal and alloy and backed by basic chemical background information
and process set up. Overviews on worldwide ore distribution,
refined metal and alloy production numbers are another focus of the
book. Discusses sources, key processes and applications. Connects
what students learn in class to real, large-scale metals chemistry
that makes modern life possible. Intended for students, graduate
students and beginners in the fiield of Chemistry, Chemical Process
Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. Visit

Industrial Organic Chemistry examines all major industrial
manufacturing technologies and reaction types with a focus on
organic chemistry in general and petroleum refining in particular.
The author takes a systematic approach to introducing the most
important classes of organic compounds, from the C1 fraction
through to polyaromatics and polymers. The author introduces
biological sources for key compounds such as fuel and plastics and
compares these bio-based organic materials to the corresponding
petroleum-based chemicals. In addition to the chemistry behind
processes in the petroleum, pharma, food and agrochemical
industries, this book also discusses related topics such as process
selectivity, waste management, and product purification.
Industrial Inorganic Chemistry adds to the previously published
graduate level textbooks on Industrial Chemistry by Mark A.
Benvenuto. It focuses specifically on inorganic processes, from the
largest industrial process for the production of major inorganic
chemicals and metals, down to and including smaller niche processes
that have become extremely important in maintaining the current
quality of life. The book provides a survey on the production of
essential elements and compounds, such as sulfuric acid, calcium
carbonate, fertilizers as well as numerous metals and alloys. In
addition to the fundamental scientific principles each chapter
includes discussions on the environmental impacts: mining of raw
materials, creation of by-products, pollution, and waste
generation, all of which have become key factors for the potential
implementation of greener methods. The author also highlights ways
in which industry has begun to make industrial inorganic processes
more environmentally benign. Examines major inorganic chemistry
processes, their effect on every-day life and current efforts to
improve processes or adapt "green" chemical production. Provides
didactic links between theoretical lecture contents and current,
largescale chemical processes. Valuable for students of Inorganic
Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials
Sciences.
