Green Environmental Chemical Analysis

Generally, green analytical chemistry aims to reduce or eliminate the toxic and harmful solvents, reagents, and techniques in the preparation, pre-treatment, and determination steps of an analysis process. With the increase in environmental pollution in recent years, awareness has been increasing in terms of both the contamination analysis of environmental sources and the more environmentally friendly analysis methods. This book promotes green environmental chemical analysis with the plan for a more sustainable and ecologically conscious future. Covering the whole spectrum of green environmental chemical analysis techniques including their concepts, new materials and applications, the content showcases the utilization of alternative solvents, renewable resources and energy-efficient processes. Providing practical insights for researchers and practitioners seeking to adopt greener practices in their laboratories, the scope extends to the integration of emerging technologies such as microfluidics, sensor technologies and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the book addresses challenges and opportunities in the implementation of green analytical techniques, offering case studies and real-world applications to illustrate successful environmental chemical analysis. Current trends and future perspectives in the field are also included. Overall, this book is a reference book for researchers and scientists who are searching for green analytical chemistry approaches for environmental analysis at both experimental and theoretical scales.
