Green Chemistry and Sustainable Environment: Principles, Practices, and Innovations for Environmental Sustainability | Dr. Madhu Dubey Swarnkar, Dr. M. Sarasija, Dr. Alkarani Bunker, Dr. Mallaram Aruna | AGPH Books

Front Cover
Green Chemistry and Sustainable Environment is a comprehensive academic resource that explores the convergence of chemical science with environmental responsibility. This book delves into the principles of green chemistry, offering a structured and progressive understanding of how environmentally sound practices can be embedded into the development and application of chemistry in both academic and industrial settings. The book comprises seven well-organised chapters that begin with foundational concepts, including the definition, scope, and guiding principles of green chemistry. Subsequent chapters examine green chemical processes, waste reduction strategies, environmentally friendly solvents and reagents, and the critical role of catalysis in sustainable reactions. A dedicated section addresses industrial applications, showcasing how green chemistry is being implemented in pharmaceutical manufacturing, polymer science, and clean energy production. Further, the book explores the broader environmental implications of chemical behaviour in natural ecosystems, the impacts of pollutants, and the necessity of adopting sustainable and circular economy models. Each chapter combines theoretical context with practical examples and real-world case studies, promoting an applied understand-ing of sustainability in chemical research and production.
