Description
There is an urgent need for environment remediation and Green Chemistry is one of the promising avenues to achieve this aim. Green Chemistry for Environmental Remediation presses the importance of chemistry in solving environmental issues by highlighting the role of green chemistry in making the environment clean and green by covering a wide array of topics ranging from sustainable development, microwave chemical reaction, renewable feedstocks, microbial bioremediation, and other topics that, when implemented, will advance environmental improvement.
The book also provides insight on how educators from around the world have incorporated green chemistry into their classrooms and how the principles of green chemistry principles can be integrated into the curriculum. The book aims to promote and generate awareness about the relationship of green chemistry with the environment amongst the younger generation who might wish to pursue a career in green chemistry.
The volume presents high quality research papers as well as in depth review articles from eminent professors, scientists, chemists and engineers both from educational institutions as well as from industry. It introduces a new emerging green face of multidimensional environmental chemistry. Each chapter brings forward the latest literature and research being done in the related area.
The 23 chapters are divided into 4 sections:
1. Green Chemistry and Societal Sustainability (including teaching and education of Green Chemistry)
2. Green Lab Technologies and Alternative Solutions to Conventional Laboratory Techniques
3. Green Bio-energy Sources as Green Technology Frontiers
4. Green Applications and Solutions for Remediation
