Green Chemistry is a vitally important subject area in a world where being as green and environmentally sound as possible is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Its applications include the design of chemical products and processes that help to reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.
The Handbook of Green Chemistry comprises 12 volumes, split into subject–specific sets as follows:
Set I: Green Catalysis
Set II: Green Solvents
Volume 4: Supercritical Solvents
Volume 5: Reactions in Water
Volume 6: Ionic Liquids
Set III: Green Processes
Set IV: Green Products
Supercritical Fluids (SCFs) and Gas–Expanded Liquids (GXLs) are of great interest in green chemistry because either they are nontoxic and non–polluting solvents (like carbon dioxide or water) or they help one to avoid harmful intermediates through new processing routes. This book examines the use of SCFs and GXLs in catalysis, polymerization and many other major reactions and processes where avoiding the use of a hazardous solvent is beneficial for the environment and the economy. The additional control parameters resulting from the unique physiochemical properties of solvents are discussed and highlighted with numerous examples from the current literature and applications.
