Green Chemical Processes

Zusatztext

<p><em>Green Chemical Processing</em> provides an overview of the aims and challenges of sustainable chemistry and highlights recent developments in what has become a highly active area of research. While the American Chemical Societys 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are used as guidelines throughout the series,<em>Green Chemical Processing</em> also looks to the future and considers the potential of this dynamic field beyond the established tenets of sustainability. The volumes of this series will combine to a reference on Green Chemical Processing for Chemists, Chemical Process Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Materials Scientists as well as beginners and students in the field.</p>
