This timely book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of all important aspects of this modern technology with the focus on the "green aspect". The expert authors present everything from reactions without solvents to nanostructures for separation methods, from combinatorial chemistry on solid phase to dendrimers. The result is a ready reference packed full of valuable facts on the latest developments in the field - high-quality information otherwise widely spread throughout articles and reviews.

From the contents:
* Green chemistry for sustainable development
* New synthetic methodologies and the demand for adequate separation processes
* New developments in separation processes
* Future trends and needs

It is a "must-have" for every researcher in the field.

Review:

“This volume recognizes that chemistry must have a pivotal role in the transition towards a sustainable, competitive and knowledge-based economy and society. In combination with its own supplier and downstream sectors it may contribute to improvements in both economic and social welfare.” (International Journal of Environmental Studies, 19 August 2006)

"...the focus of the book is given especially innovative technologies and is a very useful and recommendable tool to get information on its status. ... the review presents excellent knowledge about the different technologies. ...it should be pointed out that the book is very informative for technologists."
Environmental Science and Pollution Research

"Sustainability and Green Chemistry are two topics appearing routinely in the literature. This book adds to that process in a very useful way."
Journal of Hazardous Materials
