About this book

The 5^th volume of Green Chemical Processing considers sustainable chemistry in the context of governmental and corporate interests, explaining how “red tape” can help or hinder the “greening” of industry processes. The American Chemical Society’s 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are woven throughout this text as well as the series to which this book belongs.

Explores topics in Green Chemistry from both governmental and corporate perspectives.

Considers the ecological and economical costs and benefits of chemistry research.

Written by internationally renowned experts including a US State Senator.
