Green Separation Processes: Fundamentals and Applications — Carlos A. M. Afonso (Editor), Joao Pedro G. Crespo (Editor), Paul T. Anastas (Foreword by) ISBN: 978-3-527-30985-6 Hardcover 383 pages September 2005.

This timely book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of all important aspects of this modern technology with the focus on the "green aspect". The expert authors present everything from reactions without solvents to nanostructures for separation methods, from combinatorial chemistry on solid phase to dendrimers. The result is a ready reference packed full of valuable facts on the latest developments in the field - high-quality information otherwise widely spread throughout articles and reviews.

From the contents:
* Green chemistry for sustainable development
* New synthetic methodologies and the demand for adequate separation processes
* New developments in separation processes
* Future trends and needs

Eco-Industrial Park Handbook for Asian Developing Countries — This is a Handbook for Development of Eco-Industrial Parks presenting a comprehensive means of applying Cleaner Production and Industrial Ecology in Asian developing countries. The Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) concept and methods enable real estate developers, industrialists, policy makers, regulators, investors, and communities to collaborate in the vital search for sustainable development.

Exergy Flows in Industrial Processes — The aim of this book is to show the simplicity and the value of using the concept of exergy when analyzing industrial processes and to develop conventions and standards within the field. The losses revealed in an exergy treatment of a process should be seen as a challenge to achieve technical improvements, not as an insurmountable obstacle.

In Search of Sustainability: Process R&D in Light of Current Pharmaceutical Industry Challenges — Federsel HJ Drug Discovery Today 11 (21-22): 966-974 NOV 2006. Abstract: Is there a need for a paradigm shift in the pharmaceutical industry? Many researchers think so and take as examples the eroding corporate reputation, a regulatory environment that is harsher than ever, and the request for cheaper drugs from patient organizations and authorities. Process R&D, which interfaces medicinal chemistry and production, has taken on this challenge by increasing the delivery focus early on to ensure timely availability of desired compounds. The quest for lower costs of goods has forced the design of best synthetic routes that, given the molecular complexity, often lead to catalytic methodologies. Applying these methodologies will enable not only the cost element, but also the increasingly important aspects of environmental friendliness, and atom and stage efficiency, to be addressed.

Green Chemistry of Polymers — Pinkowska H POLIMERY 51 (11-12): 836-842 2006. Abstract: The article is a review of the newest literature data (159 references) concerning the application of the rules of green and sustainable chemistry in chemistry of polymers. The processes (being in agreement with these rules) of manufacturing of intermediate products for polymers syntheses, coming from oil or renewable resources, as well as the polymerization carried out in the presence of metallocene or enzymatic catalysts were described. Alternate media of polymerization reactions, such as supercritical carbon dioxide, ionic liquids and water, were characterized. Special attention has been paid to biodegradable polymers, feedstock recycling and energy recovery from polymeric materials used, especially in the presence of supercritical liquids.
