Book Description

More than 7000 trade name products and more than 2500 generic chemicals that can be used in formulations to meet envionmental concerns and government regulations. This reference is designed to serve as an essential tool in the strategic decision-making process of chemical selection when focusing on human and environmental safety factors.Industries Covered: Adhesives ? Refrigerants ? Water Treatment ? Plastics ? Rubber ? Surfactants ? Paints & Coatings ? Food ? PharmaceuticalsCosmetics ? Petroleum Processing ? Metal Treatment ? TextilesThe chemicals and materials included are used in every aspect of the chemical industry. The reference is organized so that the reader can access the information based on the trade name, chemical components, functions and application areas, 'green' attributes, manufacturer, CAS number, and EINECS/ELINCS number.It contains a unique cross-reference that groups the trade name chemicals by one or more of these green chemical attributes: Biodegradable ? Environmentally Safe ? Environmentally Friendly ? Halogen-Free ? HAP's-Free ? Low Global WarmingLow Ozone-Depleting ? Nonozone-Depleting ? Low Vapor Pressure ? Noncarcinogenic ? Non-CFC ? Non-HCFCNonhazardous ? Nontoxic ? Recyclable ? SARA-Nonreportable ? SNAP (Significant New Alternative Policy) CompliantVOC-Compliant ? Low-VOC ? VOC-Free




Handbook of Green Chemistry and Technology


Book Description

Sustainable development is now accepted as a necessary goal for achieving societal, economic and environmental objectives. Within this chemistry has a vital role to play. The chemical industry is successful but traditionally success has come at a heavy cost to the environment. The challenge for chemists and others is to develop new products, processes and services that achieve societal, economic and environmental benefits. This requires an approach that reduces the materials and energy intensity of chemical processes and products; minimises the dispersion of harmful chemicals in the environment; maximises the use of renewable resources and extends the durability and recyclability of products in a way that increases industrial competitiveness as well as improve its tarnished image.




Handbook of Green Chemistry


Book Description

Edited by the inventor of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry, Paul Anastas, the complete 12-volumes of Handbook of Green Chemistry will provide a one-stop resource covering green catalysis, green solvents, green products and green processes. Handbook of Green Chemistry covers highly topical areas in green chemistry such as feedstocks, green chemical engineering, green catalysis (homogeneous, heterogeneous and biocatalysis), separation techniques and solvents like supercritical fluids, ionic liquids and reactions in water. It covers the big environmental and product design issues faced by chemists such as how to make nanoscience greener, design safer, sustainable and less toxic chemicals and make chemical synthesis a greener and more sustainable process. In the final 3 volumes, Handbook of Green Chemistry will cover green products, the chemical engineering behind their processing and what makes a green product, vital in now this is key selling point for industry. Handbook of Green Chemistry publishes in four sets of three volumes. The first three sets are available to purchase now: Handbook of Green Chemistry: Green Catalysis Paul T.
