关于此电子书

Chemical processes provide a diverse array of valuable products and materials used in applications ranging from health care to transportation and food processing. Yet these same chemical processes that provide products and materials essential to modern economies, also generate substantial quantities of wastes and emissions. Green Chemistry is the utilization of a set of principles that reduces or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances in design. Due to extravagant costs needed to managing these wastes, tens of billions of dollars a year, there is a need to propose a way to create less waste. Emission and treatment standards continue to become more stringent, which causes these costs to continue to escalate. Green Chemistry and Engineering describes both the science (theory) and engineering (application) principles of Green Chemistry that lead to the generation of less waste. It explores the use of milder manufacturing conditions resulting from the use of smarter organic synthetic techniques and the maintenance of atom efficiency that can temper the effects of chemical processes. By implementing these techniques means less waste, which will save industry millions of dollars over time. - Chemical processes that provide products and materials essential to modern economies generate substantial quantities of wastes and emissions, this new book describes both the science (theory) and engineering (application) principles of Green Chemistry that lead to the generation of less waste - This book contains expert advise from scientists around the world, encompassing developments in the field since 2000 - Aids manufacturers, scientists, managers, and engineers on how to implement ongoing changes in a vast developing field that is important to the environment and our lives

作者简介

Dr. Anil Kumar is a Staff Scientist at the National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi. Dr. Kumar received his master's in biotechnology from Indian Institute of Roorkee, Roorkee and completed his Ph.D. from Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR), New Delhi, India. His research interest focuses on understanding the interactions within gut bacteria and between the gut flora, as well as how the result of the investigation may be helpful to devise strategies to promote human health and prevent diseases. As an inventor, he credits more than 50 granted patents for developing product & processes useful in different industries. He's also published 50 research publications in national and international journals. He had participated in the development of biosensor which has been transferred to industry. In 2012, one of his patents has been selected for CSIR Technology Award 2012 and other US patent won Merck Millipore India Innovation Award 2012.
