Description
Book SynopsisThe very best and latest advances compiled in a single volume-an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers . . .
Here is the perfect introduction to chemistry under extreme or non-classical conditions, including use of high temperature species, high pressure, supercritical media, sonochemistry, and microwave chemistry. Written by leading experts in their respective fields, this unique text applies a unified approach to each method, including background, instrumentation, examples, information on industrial applications (where relevant), and sources for further reading. Featured topics:
* Chemical Synthesis Using High Temperature Species
* Effect of Pressure on Inorganic Reactions
* Effect of Pressure on Organic Reactions
* Organic Synthesis at High Pressure
* Inorganic and Related Chemical Reactions in Supercritical Fluids
* Organic Chemistry in Supercritical Fluids
* Industrial and Environmental Applications of Supercritical Fluids
* Ultra
Trade Review“All in all, the piece introduces the subject, to deepen the reader ’ s knowledge quite systematically, be it an experienced researcher in the related field or a research student in the need for a good head-start . . Future prospects and challenges presented in almost every chapter inspire the reader to work on the development of a greater future with minimal waste generation and effect on the public health.” (Green Processing and Synthesis, 1 August 2012)
