Green Chemistry and Sustainable Practices

Modern chemical industries aim to balance innovation with environmental responsibility, emphasizing processes that reduce waste and minimize ecological harm. Green chemistry promotes the design of sustainable chemical reactions and materials. Green Chemistry and Sustainable Practices explores the twelve principles of green chemistry and their industrial applications. It includes case studies on renewable feedstocks, solvent alternatives, and energy-efficient processes. The book also highlights policies and technologies that support circular economies and sustainable manufacturing. With a balance of theory and practice, it encourages environmentally responsible chemical innovation.

Dr. Gábor Kovács is a lecturer at the Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Faculty of Technical and Human Sciences, Department of Horticulture in Târgu Mure , Romania. He has been in this role since 2021. Kovács obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Chemistry/Applied Electrochemistry from Babe -Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 2007 and 2008, respectively. He later earned his PhD in Chemistry from Babe -Bolyai University in 2012. Before his current lecturing position, Kovács had several research roles. He was an assistant Researcher at the Babe -Bolyai University Faculty of Physics / Institute of Interdisciplinary Bio-Nano Sciences in Cluj-Napoca. Kovács also held postdoctoral research positions, including at the Department of Applied and Environmental Chemistry at the University of Szeged in Hungary, and at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the same university. Kovács has taught a variety of chemistry-related courses at the B.Sc. and M.Sc. levels, including General/Inorganic Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Corrosion and Anticorrosive Protection, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Phytosanitary Chemistry, and Toxicology. Kovács has led several research projects funded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the National Research, Development and Innovation Office of Hungary. These projects have focused on areas such as the synthesis, characterization, and applicability of photocatalytic nanostructures, carbon nanotube-based composites, and investigations dealing with the ecotoxicological aspects of these materials.
