Handbook of Green Chemistry - Green Catalysis

The shift towards being as environmentally-friendly as possible has resulted in the need for this important volume on homogeneous catalysis. Edited by the father and pioneer of Green Chemistry, Professor Paul Anastas, and by the renowned chemist, Professor Robert Crabtree, this volume covers many different aspects, from industrial applications to atom economy. It explains the fundamentals and makes use of everyday examples to elucidate this vitally important field. An essential collection for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the world of green chemistry, as well as for chemists, environmental agencies and chemical engineers.

Nicht nur in den westlichen Industrieländern ist Umweltschutz heute ein selbstverständlicher Bestandteil der gesellschaftlichen Existenz. Über die Entwicklung der Grünen Chemie und Technik informiert das 12-bändige "Handbook of Green Chemistry" (herausgegeben von Paul Anastas, dem Vater der Grünen Chemie), zu dem dieser vorliegende Band über Grüne Homogene Katalyse gehört. Ausführlich wie nie zuvor behandelt er alle Aspekte der umweltverträglichen und nachhaltigen homogenen Katalyse, wie zum Beispiel Atomökonomie, Oxidationen mit Wasserstoffperoxid, industrielle Prozesse und vieles weitere mehr.
