Sommario/riassunto

Producing large quantities of waste is not only environmentally unacceptable, it is also not viable in economic terms. The chemical industry, particularly the speciality and pharmaceuticals sectors, is becoming increasingly aware of the advantages associated with clean technology, particularly in terms of competitive advantage and environmental benefits.Bringing together an understanding of the concepts and values of clean technology by using case studies from



some leading European countries, this book provides an insight into subjects such as catalysis; process intensification; and how to mea
