Summary

This volume is part of a two-volume set devoted to promoting the conceptof green chemistry. This second volume examines the role of green chemistrywithin chemical synthesis, its counterpart illustrates the pronounced impactthat green engineering is having in a wide range of areas within chemicalengineering. Each of these volumes will facilitate more widespread adoptions ofthese techniques by governments and chemical industry and lead to a greateroverall understanding of green chemistry.
