Synopsis
This volume is part of a two-volume set devoted to promoting the concept of green chemistry. This first volume illustrates the pronounced impact that green engineering is having in a wide range of areas within chemical engineering, its counterpart will examine the role of green chemistry within chemical synthesis, each leading to a greater understanding and hopefully greater adoptions of these techniques by governments and chemical industry.
Booknews
Chemical engineers from industry, government, non-governmental organizations, and academia explain the perspectives, methodologies, and technologies that they say use renewable feedstocks, minimize energy use, and decrease negative impacts on human health and the environment. The 17 papers cover green processing, green applications of carbon dioxide, environmentally benign catalysis, and separations. Specific topics include eliminating solvents and acids in wafer processing, green process concepts for the pharmaceutical industry, zeolite technologies for a greener environment, and replacing volatile organic compounds in industrial scale liquid-liquid or chromatographic separations. The date and location of the Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference where the symposium took place are not noted. The book is distributed by Oxford U. Press. Annotation c.
