简介："Alternative Solvents for Green Chemistry uses examples that tie in with the 12 principles of green chemistry e.g.atom efficient reactions in benign solvents and processingof renewable chemicals/materials in green solvents. Readers will benefit from an overview of the many different kinds of solvents, written in such away to make the book appropriate to newcomers to the field and preparethem for the 'green choices' available. In addition, it includes some cutting-edge results from the recent literature to give a clearer picture of where green solvents are today. The book also removes some of the mystique associated with 'alternative solvent' choicesand includes information on solvents in different fields of chemistry such as analytical and materials chemistry inaddition to catalysis and synthesis.". "The latest research developments, not covered elsewhere, are included such as switchable solvents and biosolvents. Also, some important areas that are often overlooked are described such as naturally sourced solvents (including ethanol and ethyl lactate) and liquid polymers. As well asthese additional alternative solvents being included, the book takes a more general approach to solvents, not just focusing on the use of solvents in synthetic chemistry. Applications of solvents in areas such as analysis are overviewed in addition to the more widely recognised uses of alternative solvents in organic synthesis." "The book is aimed at newcomers to the field whether research students beginning investigations towards their thesis or industrial researchers curious to find out if an alternative solvent would be suitable in their work."--BOOK JACKET.
