Magnetically Retrievable Nanocomposites An Approach towards Green Catalysis... 

Although recently, various books have been published on green catalysis [12-16], often also with focus on catalysis, we consider this further book necessary focused in particular on highlighting the new vision for sustainable industrial chemistry, but complemented by a series of industrial examples that could be used either for educational purposes or as case histories. 

The role of aqueous-biphasic catalysis as a fundamental technique of green catalysis (or more specified of green chemistry ) is underlined by a multitude of publications [48i, 53],... 

Interestingly, membrane and membrane reactors for aqueous-phase conversions are not an outstanding topic for the specialists discussing sustainable or "green catalysis [24c]. 

Wolfgang Holderich and D. Heinz (Technische Hochschule Aachen) illustrate a problem - the application of heterogeneous catalysts to the environmentally benign synthesis of fine chemicals, such as fragrances. This is one example of how catalysts can be developed to synthesize products efficiently and cleanly. This type of green catalysis is one of the challenges we face, especially with large volume commodity chemicals.

Environmentally benign chemical synthesis and processes (green catalysis, green solvents and reagents, atom-economy synthetic methods etc.)...

The final example of using multifunctional nanocomposite to promote different reactions comes from the field of green catalysis rather than the environmental catalysis discussed to this point. 

Based on the combined data, green catalysis appears to be an achievable and promising approach that may overcome many of the environmental problems associated with current industrial chemical processes as well as permitting economic manufacture of products with a high yield.
