Green Chemistry

Green Chemistry

Updated throughout, this third edition is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses covering green chemistry, and it explores new ways of developing products and processes.



Sustainable development, the circular economy and environmental issues are at the forefront of public and Government concern. The field of green chemistry aims to provide environmentally benign products from sustainable resources, using processes that do not harm people or the environment, at the same time as helping solve key societal problems such as climate change. Updated throughout, this third edition features an expanded section on legislation, a revised chapter on measurement, and a substantially re-written chapter on renewable resources, bringing readers the latest developments in this rapidly evolving area. Case studies now include more recent examples of real-world applications from industry to demonstrate how the techniques of green chemistry work in practice. This fascinating textbook is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses covering green chemistry, and it encourages new ways of thinking about how products and processes are developed.
