Features: Green chemistry is one of the important directions of chemical science development in the 21st century. Green chemistry uses chemical techniques and methods to design and develop chemicals and processes that are harmless to human health, social safety, and the ecological environment. It prevents chemical pollution at the source, fundamentally ensures clean chemical production, and transforms environmental management from treating symptoms to addressing root causes. Green chemistry is a science that solves pollution at the source, holding significant importance for the harmonious development of the environment, economy, and society. This book takes the fundamental principles of green chemistry as its main thread, introducing the origin and development of green chemistry, its concepts, principles, methods, applications, and major research trends. The book is divided into nine chapters, mainly covering introductory concepts of green chemistry, principles of green chemistry, green solvents, green catalysts, atom-economy reactions, green chemical products, green energy, and green chemical production. The content is rich, the selection is novel, the arguments are coherent, and it emphasizes the connection between theory and practice while focusing on knowledge innovation. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in chemistry and environmental science, and is also suitable for scientists and engineers in chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental protection, and related fields, as well as faculty and students at colleges and universities for reference.
