This volume focuses on recent approaches for developing greener chemical analysis and sample preparation techniques for applications in environmental contaminant remediation. It includes the origin and basics of green analytical chemistry in the framework of green chemistry conception with a special emphasis on the most recent trends for greening analytical techniques and extraction procedures. Special attention is given to the approaches that focus on greening extraction and derivatization steps, highlighting the role of green solvents, such as ionic liquids, bio-based, and deep eutectic solvents in replacing toxic organic solvents. The book also discusses the applications of nanotechnology for greening the whole analytical procedure, including sample pre-treatment and quantification, and demonstrates the use of green sensors and biosensors for environmental pollutants. The book will appeal to a wide readership of academic and industrial researchers in different fields. It will be useful for students focusing on the amplification of new analytical procedures for organic and inorganic compound determination in different kinds of samples characterized by complex matrices composition. The book will also be useful for researchers interested in chemical analysis for environmental protection.weiterlesen
