Chemistry for Sustainable Development

Sustainable chemistry relies on chemists using resources more efficiently to minimize carbon footprints, to foster the eradication of solvents in organic chemistry, and delivering processes which lead to harmony between chemistry and the environment. Topics featured include: low-waste chemical processes; recovery and safe disposal of waste products; chemistry without solvents and solutions; energy loss prevention in chemical processes; chemical methods of synthetic fuel production; chemical aspects of safety; naturally occurring indicators of global environmental changes. This book covers all areas of physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry and will be of interest to all those engaged in the field.
