Series Preface
advanced biofuel productions; devulcanization of spent tire rubber; avoidance of the
use of chemicals and processes causing generation of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs); replacement of traditional petrochemical processes by microorganismbased bioengineering processes; replacement of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) with
nonhazardous alternatives; advances in design of energy-efficient processes; use of
clean, alternative, and renewable energy sources in manufacturing; and so on. Even
though this list is only a partial compilation, it is undoubtedly growing exponentially.
This book series “Green Chemistry and Chemical Engineering” by CRC Press/
Taylor & Francis is designed to meet the new challenges of the twenty-first century in the chemistry and chemical engineering disciplines by publishing books and
monographs based on the cutting-edge research and development to the effect of
reducing adverse impacts on the environment by chemical enterprise. In achieving
this, the series will detail the development of alternative sustainable technologies
that will minimize the hazard and maximize the efficiency of any chemical choice.
The series aims at delivering the readers in academia and industry with an authoritative information source in the field of green chemistry and chemical engineering.
The publisher and its series editor are fully aware of the rapidly evolving nature of
the subject and its long-lasting impact on the quality of human life in both the present
and the future. As such, the team is committed to making this series the most comprehensive and accurate literary source in the field of green chemistry and chemical
engineering.
