Soumen Kundu obtained his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in chemistry from the University of Calcutta and the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur, respectively. He obtained his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Terrence J. Collins, during which he worked on the development and application of Fe-TAML (Tetra Amido Macrocyclic Ligand) catalysts for the remediation of organic pollutants in water. After completing his graduate studies, Dr. Kundu worked with Prof. Chao-Jun Li at McGill University (2013–2015) as a postdoctoral fellow, where his research endeavors included methodology development and mechanistic understanding of ruthenium-catalyzed coupling reactions of carbonyls and alkynes to form olefins. In 2015, Dr. Kundu joined Phillips 66 as a research scientist, where his research is focused on heterogeneous catalyst development and application toward transportation fuel production.

Preface

This volume may be considered as part of the celebrations of a “silver anniversary” for green chemistry: recognizing more than 25 years of creative, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary efforts from all parts of the world. There is growing enthusiasm from chemical practitioners at every level–from K-12 students up to experienced professionals–and increasingly an exploration of how green chemistry intersects with other disciplines: chemical and environmental engineering, materials science, and toxicology immediately come to mind, but a quick look at the literature shows numerous frontiers and plenty of opportunities for the coming decades.

Against that backdrop, this volume was intended to highlight the breadth of the field and how diverse the toolbox for green chemistry has become. The Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry have provided a general framework and widespread inspiration, and this Handbook series has extensively discussed the “what” and “why” of sustainable chemistry; this volume aims to further expand on the “how.” While some tools are specific to certain aspects of chemicals or chemical processes, the overall aim of this volume will be to demonstrate how methods can be applied holistically to improve technology, ideally minimizing potential environmental tradeoffs. The authors have made efforts to include case studies, hands-on approaches, and information to guide day-to-day practice of green chemistry. I hope this volume will encourage lateral connections to be made across many “green” subtopics–raw materials, catalysis, toxicity, energy, and water–and inspire outreach into adjacent sciences. I expect these connections will become increasingly important as green chemistry moves past the “end of the beginning [1].”

Acknowledgments

I am deeply grateful to the efforts of the authors who contributed to this volume. Their passion for the field is infectious and it is a pleasure to see the work take final shape. I would also like to thank the team at Wiley for their guidance and consistent support throughout the project.

This book is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Richard P. Wool.
