Comprehensive overview of sustainable materials and techniques in analytical chemistry

Sustainable Analytical Chemistry: Methods, Materials, and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of sustainable practices in analytical chemistry with a focus on reducing the environmental impact of analytical processes by using sustainable materials and techniques. The book reviews the latest advances in materials, sample preparation processes, extraction techniques, and sensor platforms, while also highlighting novel approaches such as smartphone-based detection and next-generation microfluidics.

Emphasis is placed on the importance of nanotechnology and miniaturization in achieving sustainability goals and provides practical applications in fields such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, and food safety. At the end of each chapter, readers will find websites of interest and information on the latest research on sustainable analytical technologies.

Sustainable Analytical Chemistry: Methods, Materials, and Applications discusses:

• Sustainable materials, ranging from carbon-based nanomaterials to metal-organic frameworks, that are redefining analytical applications
• Sustainable analytical techniques, including greener sample preparation, eco-friendly solvents, chemometric optimization, and innovative extraction technologies
• Diverse applications, from food and environmental monitoring to wearable devices and nanosensors, as well as social consequences and future directions
• Microwave-assisted extraction as a sustainable technology and sustainable analytical techniques for extraction of bioactive compounds in food samples and waste valorization
• Green chromatography, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), and chemometric approaches

Sustainable Analytical Chemistry: Methods, Materials, and Applications serves as a valuable reference for students, researchers, educators, and professionals across academia, industry, and government laboratories seeking to contribute to environmental stewardship, resource efficiency, and sustainable development goals.
