Green Chemistry Approaches to Environmental Sustainability: Status, Challenges and Prospective provides a comprehensive and complete overview of the emerging discipline of green chemistry and fundamental chemical principles. The book bridges the gap between research and industry by offering a systematic overview of current available sustainable materials and related information on new materials' suitability and potential for given projects. Along the way, the book examines natural and biodegradable materials while also presenting materials with multifunctional properties. Topics addressed in this book will be major accomplishments for sustainable developments in biofuels, renewable energies, and in the remediation of pollutants in water, air and soil. Encompasses all aspects of green chemistry through an interdisciplinary approach - Addresses major accomplishments for sustainable development - Presents green chemistry as a philosophical approach whereby its core principle can attribute towards sustainable developments Provides an overview of the emerging discipline of green chemistry along with the fundamental chemical principles Green Chemistry Approaches to Environmental Sustainability: Status, Challenges and Prospective provides a comprehensive and complete overview of the emerging discipline of green chemistry along with the fundamental chemical principles.The globe is presented with significant challenges due to the rapidly increasing population and consumption of natural resources. The natural resources and raw materials are depleted at an ever-increasing rate.Now, more than ever there is a global need to bring awareness and critical thinking about resources their efficiency.
