| Summary: | "Green Chemistry focuses on the science and techniques that chemists and chemical and process engineers can harness to generate less waste, and to develop products and processes that are more atom- and energy-efficient, and environmentally sensitive. As well as being greener, a key goal of green chemistry is to be more cost-effective, and this key engineering reference explores ways that green chemistry can save organizations significant sums of money in their processes, while also reducing emissions and environmental impacts." "The book describes the science and engineering principles behind green chemistry. It explores the use of new manufacturing conditions, such as those using smarter organic synthetic techniques and processes that maintain atom efficiency to temper the effects of chemical processes."--Jacket |
