The "greening" of industry processes -- making them more sustainable -- is a popular and often lucrative trend. The volume covers green chemical processing in the context of climate change. The impact of catalysis, remediation of pollutants, and sustainable practices in process development on climate change are themes addressed in this volume. We also explore the adoption of sustainability and environmental justice in educational curricula. The American Chemical Society's 12 Principles of Green Chemistry are woven throughout this text as well as throughout the series to which this book belongs.-- Provided by publisher.
