Green Chemistry

The book describes on an introductory level the designing of chemical processes and products so as to reduce or eliminate the use or production of toxic or hazards substances. It explains the code of conduct meant to reduce the environmental impact of any chemical process, whether at laboratory scale or industrial scale. The synonyms of Green Chemistry are the Sustainable Chemistry or the low-environmental-impact Chemistry.

• Provides basics on the 12 principles of green chemistry applied for designing a green synthesis.
• Explains with examples the role of microwaves, ultrasound, phase transfer catalysts, versatile ionic liquids, green solvents and solid state reactions.
