Good news for the environment: built-in green thinking development with a consciousness of the need for sustainability is also desirable from an economic point of view for increased control over production costs, improved materials, reduced waste and emissions, increased energy efficiency, and diminished impact of chemicals manufacturing on the environment. Providing a timely review and a convenient collection of material otherwise scattered in the literature, this volume comprises contributions from Europe, Asia, and the US under the editorial leadership of Afonso (Technical U. of Lisbon) and Crespo (New U. of Lisbon). Coverage includes identification of general principles and regulations that support the need for environmentally friendly chemistry as well as both synthetic methods and separation processes that reflect those principles.

This timely book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of all important aspects of this modern technology with the focus on the "green aspect". The expert authors present everything from reactions without solvents to nanostructures for separation methods, from combinatorial chemistry on solid phase to dendrimers. The result is a ready reference packed full of valuable facts on the latest developments in the field - high-quality information otherwise widely spread throughout articles and reviews.
From the contents:
* Green chemistry for sustainable development
* New synthetic methodologies and the demand for adequate separation processes
* New developments in separation processes
* Future trends and needs
It is a "must-have" for every researcher in the field.
