Green Chemistry And Catalysis

The expression "Green Chemistry" is used to describe chemical processes that take into consideration sustainable development and environmentally improved products, as well as other aspects to make the reaction "cleaner." In recent years, this principle has become very important, with "Green Catalysis" a major topic within this field. Written by Roger A. Sheldon--without doubt one of the leaders in the field with much experience in academia and industry--and his co-workers, this first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents every important aspect: Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods Solid-acid and solid-base catalysis C-C bond formation reactions Biocatalysis Asymmetric catalysis Novel reaction media like e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical CO2 Renewable raw materials The result is a unified, indispensable source for all scientists looking to improve their catalytic reactions, whether in the college or company lab.Sheldon, Roger Arthur is the author of 'Green Chemistry And Catalysis ', published 2007 under ISBN 9783527307159 and ISBN 352730715X.
