Green and Sustainable Chemistry and EngineeringAusgabe 2

The first textbook to fully integrate Green and Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, now in its second edition

Green and Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering addresses key concepts and processes from an industrial and manufacturing perspective. Using an integrated, systems-oriented approach, this invaluable single-volume resource bridges the divide between chemistry, process design, and engineering, as well as environment, health, safety, and life cycle considerations.

This revised new edition discusses trends in chemical processing that can lead to more sustainable practices, explores new methods in the design of greener chemical synthesis, addresses sustainability challenges and implementation issues, and more. Up-to-date examples and new practical exercises based on the broad experience of the authors in applied and fundamental research, corporate consulting, and education are incorporated throughout the text.

Designed to advance green chemistry and green engineering as disciplines in the broader context of sustainability, Green and Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering:

• Illustrates the role of green and sustainable chemistry and engineering in the adoption of sustainable practices
• Describes the components of chemistry supporting the design of sustainable chemical reactions and reaction pathways
• Presents an approach to materials selection promoting the sustainability of chemical synthesis without diminishing efficiency
• Highlights key concepts that support the design of more sustainable chemical processes
• Provides background and context for placing a particular chemical process in the broader chemical enterprise
• Includes access to a companion website with a solutions manual and supplementary resources

Green and Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering: A Practical Design Approach, Second Edition, remains an ideal textbook for graduate and senior-level courses in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and an invaluable reference for chemists and engineers in manufacturing and R&D, especially those working in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
