Industrial Applications of Green Solvents: Volume I: 50 (Materials Research Foundations)

Green chemistry aims at reducing pollution and avoiding hazardous waste in the environment as well as in a number of industrial applications including chemical pharmaceutical paint and leather industries. The book focuses on new applications of green solvents (water ionic liquids supercritical carbon dioxide terpenes) in such areas as chemical synthesis (including lipase-catalyzed reactions organic synthesis esterification reactions) gas separation membranes environment-friendly products low energy requirement processes and alternatives to hazardous substances.
