Reviews

“With assiduous care and perseverance, editors, contributing authors, and publisher have translated into practice the spirit, and concept of their title. Comprising over 18 chapters, this monograph covers a novel mix of research topics and provides supporting analytical methods devoted to chemical and biological process engineering fields as diverse as fermentation of functional foods, chemical processing of pharmaceuticals, and bioconversions of waste materials. . . . Advanced students and specialists alike will appreciate the careful if narrow section of topics, the tight organization of the contents, and the efficient style of the text. Summing Up: Recommended.”

Now Available in Paperback


Green Chemistry and Biodiversity: Principles, Techniques, and Correlations reports on new approaches to designing chemicals and chemical transformations that are beneficial for human health and the environment, a continuing emerging important field of study. This volume provides a collection of innovative research on the development of alternative sustainable technologies, taking a broad view of the subject and integrating a wide variety of approaches. With a focus on the interdisciplinary applications of green chemistry and biodiversity, this volume will be a rich resource for scientists and researchers in many subfields of chemistry and chemical engineering.

Key features:
  • Explores the overlap between green chemistry and the biological sciences
  • Demonstrates how green chemistry can contribute to our understanding of biodiversity with the ultimate goal of benefiting from preservation biodiverse habitats
  • Looks at green chemistry at the molecular and macromolecular levels
  • Provides real-world examples of key issues
