Explores the frontiers of pollution prevention through technologies that are at the forefront of green chemistry and engineering. Topics covered include environmentally benign synthesis, pharmaceuticals, greener solvents, and bio-based synthesis and processing. Each chapter provides an in-depth treatment of the technical aspects of a specific green chemistry and engineering innovation. It shows how research can be used in practical industrial applications, such as decreasing energy consumption, decreasing the use of toxic and persistent materials, and decreasing the consumption of non-renewable resources.
