BOOK
green separation processes
Green Separation Processes presents a comprehensive overview of environmentally friendly methods for separating chemical compounds, essential to the future of sustainable chemistry and chemical engineering. Unlike traditional separation technologies—which often rely on toxic solvents, high energy inputs, and produce significant waste—green separation focuses on reducing environmental impact while maintaining or improving efficiency.
This book introduces the fundamental principles of green chemistry and applies them to separation techniques across various fields such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and biotechnology. It explores advanced methods including supercritical fluid extraction, membrane-based separations, ionic liquids, microwave-assisted processes, reactive separations, and solvent-free technologies.
Contributions from leading researchers illustrate both theoretical foundations and industrial applications, highlighting the integration of synthesis and separation in cleaner production processes. The work encourages the design of more sustainable chemical processes by minimizing solvent use, energy consumption, and waste generation—thereby supporting the global move toward safer, more sustainable development.
Designed for professionals, researchers, and graduate students in chemical engineering, green chemistry, and process design, this book offers both a solid theoretical foundation and cutting-edge applications in one volume.
