Green Chemical Processing provides an overview of the aims and challenges of sustainable chemistry and highlights recent developments in what has become a highly active area of research. While the American Chemical Society’s 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are used as guidelines throughout the series, Green Chemical Processing also looks to the future and considers the potential of this dynamic field beyond the established tenets of sustainability. The volumes of this series will combine to a reference on Green Chemical Processing for Chemists, Chemical Process Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Materials Scientists as well as beginners and students in the field.
The “greening” of industry processes—making them more sustainable—is a popular and often lucrative trend. This series explores industrial processes in the context of making them sustainable and the implications.

A volume that includes examples of the newest ideas and practices how green chemistry and green science can be applied - in the classroom, but also in the connections between classes and the work place. In this volume brings together authors who are making novel strides in bringing green chemistry principles in their teaching and their work.
The "greening" of industry processes—making them more sustainable—is a popular and often lucrative trend. The volume covers green chemical processing in the context of climate change. The impact of catalysis, remediation of pollutants, and sustainable practices in process development on climate change are themes addressed in this volume. We also explore the adoption of sustainability and environmental justice in educational curricula. The American Chemical Society’s 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are woven throughout this text as well as throughout the series to which this book belongs.
This volume includes several perspectives on how to connect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with the 12 principles of green chemistry, and green chemistry education.

Sustainable Green Chemistry, the 1st volume of Green Chemical Processing, covers several key aspects of modern green processing. The scope of this volume goes beyond bio- and organic chemistry, highlighting the ecological and economic benefits of enhanced sustainability in such diverse fields as petrochemistry, metal production and wastewater treatment. The authors discuss recent progresses and challenges in the implementation of green chemical processes as well as their transfer from academia to industry and teaching at all levels. Selected successes in the greening of established processes and reactions are presented, including the use of switchable polarity solvents, actinide recovery using ionic liquids, and the removal of the ubiquitous bisphenol A molecule from effluent streams by phytodegradation.
The motivation behind writing this book comes from the growing global concern over environmental degradation due to toxicity of materials and the need for sustainable solutions with greener approach. With the increasing demand for cleaner technologies and eco-friendly materials, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive resource that highlights the latest research and developments in this field. By compiling cutting-edge knowledge and insights from experts in the field, this book aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice and facilitate the adoption of sustainable materials and processes across various industries.
One of the key features of this book is its interdisciplinary approach, bringing together contributions from researchers and practitioners across fields such as materials science, green chemistry, environmental engineering, and sustainability studies.
This book will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in green materials science and their potential applications in environmental sustainability. It covers a wide range of topics, including the synthesis of green materials and their utilization in environmental remediation, different process for sustainable innovation, and sustainable manufacturing processes. Additionally, the book explores the role of green materials in environmental risk assessment and promoting circular economy principles.
Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers in driving innovation and fostering a sustainable future. Overall, the book aims to serve as a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and students interested in advancing green chemistry and sustainable materials science.
