Green Chemistry Metrics: A Guide to Determining and Evaluating Process Greenness

by Andrei Hent, Andrew Dicks, Andrew P. Dicks

This contribution to SpringerBriefs in Green Chemistry outlines and discusses the four major green chemistry metrics (atom economy, reaction mass efficiency, E factor and process mass intensity), at a level that is comprehensible by upper-level undergraduates. Such students have previously received fundamental training in organic chemistry basics, and are ideally positioned to learn about green chemistry principles, of which metrics is one foundational...
