Preface

With the emergence of the concept of green chemistry, which is defined as the use of a dozen principles that reduce or eliminate hazardous materials in the design, manufacture, and use of chemical products, it is understood that focusing on precautions to reduce or eliminate existing pollution sources is more effective than looking for a cleaning path after exiting. In parallel with increasing and diversifying needs today, with the help of technological developments, production has also increased and diversified. However, in addition to the technical and economic suitability of the processes leading up to the final product, the elimination or reduction of adverse effects that might occur to our health and the environment is now being

This book describes the principles of green chemistry for clean production in light of the latest technological developments and increasing environmental awareness. As regards industrial applications, in order to minimize wastes at the beginning of production, the book presents research on the development of alternative raw materials, new catalysts for use in the production stage, non-volatile solvents, nonhazardous chemicals, and rapidly renewable and reusable products that are biodegradable in nature by using renewable energy. This book consists of six chapters covering topics such as synthesis and applications of nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications, climate process, alternative green energy sources, and
