Our intention in publishing this book was to discuss and interpret all of the major issues in the chemical and environmental science disciplines, because this book covers such a broad range of chemical and environmental science research area. Rather, we have selected the themes and challenges, briefly defined them and demonstrated how they connect, clarified the terminology, and indicated where further research may be accessed. We hope that the result is an excellent introduction to 'chemical and environmental science. It is primarily aimed towards researchers in chemical science and related fields, but it should be accessible to new researchers as well. We have explored into more depth on issues that have received little attention elsewhere. There are several useful sources for topics such as chemical science, environmental science, nanotechnology, ionic liquids, solid waste management, photodegradation, Nanomaterial, adsorption of hazardous metals, and conducting polymers. However we attempted to provide up-to-current knowledge, we are well aware that books may soon go out of date if they seek to provide too much detail, so we concentrated on basic concepts that should not go out of fashion too quickly. Our book differs somewhat from other texts in the chemical and environmental sciences in its concentration. We have focused on ideas and theories because we feel that a solid grasp of them will be more useful in the long run than specifics of present systems, services, and approaches. We've also highlighted the dimension since we feel it's critical to understand where the discipline and its components originated from and why some things are the way they are. This approach is based on the research, with several references provided at the end of each chapter for convenience. Our intention is that the content of this book will be sufficient to provide a fundamental knowledge of the entire field, and that readers will refer to the references for more information and examples of the parts of which they are most interested. The conclusion words and captions, as well as the important references, at the conclusion of each chapter are intended to present the main points in a factual way.

Thirty carefully selected, peer-reviewed contributions from the International Conference on Pure and Applied Chemistry (ICPAC 2016) are featured in this edited book of proceedings. ICPAC 2016, a biennial meeting, was held in Mauritius in July 2016. The chapters in this book reflect a wide range of fundamental and applied research in the chemical sciences and interdisciplinary subjects. This is a unique collection of full research papers as well as reviews.

Here is a compilation of the research being done by scientists from various disciplines of chemistry at universities across the globe. This new volume provides a wealth of practical experience and research on new methodologies and important applications in chemical science. It also includes presentations on small-scale new drug design related projects that have potential applications in several disciplines of chemistry and in drug development. In this book, contributions range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to enhance understanding of the material and/or structural behavior of new and advanced systems. Topics cover computational methods in chemical sciences and electrochemical investigations; studies of some of physico-chemical properties of several important novel macrocyclic ligands; the use of lanthanide-ions doped nanomaterials; quantitative estimation of heavy metals, a sustainable, efficient and green promoter for the synthesis of some heterocyclic compounds; and much more.

In the International Year of Chemistry, prominent scientists highlight the major advances in the fight against the largest problems faced by humanity from the point of view of chemistry, showing how their science is essential to ensuring our long-term survival. Following the UN Millennium Development Goals, the authors examine the ten most critical areas, including energy, climate, food, water and health. All of them are opinion leaders in their fields, or high-ranking decision makers in national and international institutions. Intended to provide an intellectual basis for the future development of chemistry, this book is aimed at a wide readership including students, professionals, engineers, scientists, environmentalists and anyone interested in a more sustainable future.

Based on "The Virtual Conference on Chemistry and its Applications (VCCA-2020) - Research and Innovations in Chemical Sciences: Paving the Way Forward" held in August 2020 and organized by the Computational Chemistry Group of the University of Mauritius. The chapters reflect a wide range of fundamental and applied research in the chemical sciences and interdisciplinary subjects.

The report assesses the current state of chemistry and chemical engineering at the interface with materials science and identifies challenges for research. Recent advances are blurring the distinction between chemistry and materials science and are enabling the creation of new materials that, to date, have only been predicted by theory. These advances include a greater ability to construct materials from molecular components, to design materials for a desired function, to understand molecular "self-assembly, and to improve processes by which the material is "engineered" into the final product.

Chemistry in the last century was characterized by spectacular growth and advances, stimulated by revolutionary theories and experimental breakthroughs. Yet, despite this rapid development, the history of this scientific discipline has achieved only recently the status necessary to understand the effects of chemistry on the scientific and technological culture of the modern world. This book addresses the bridging of boundaries between chemistry and the other "classical" disciplines of science, physics and biology as well as the connections of chemistry to mathematics and technology. Chemical research is represented as an interconnected patchwork of scientific specialties, and this is shown by a mixture of case studies and broader overviews on the history of organic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, nuclear- and cosmochemistry, solid state chemistry, and biotechnology. All of these fields were at the center of the development of twentieth century chemistry, and the authors cover crucial topics such as the emergence of new subdisciplines and research fields, the science-technology relationship, and national styles of scientific work. This monograph represents a unique treasure trove for general historians and historians of science, while also appealing to those interested in the theoretical background and development of modern chemistry.

The essential, cornerstone book of modern environmentalism is now offered in a handsome 40th anniversary edition which features a new Introduction by activist Terry Tempest Williams and a new Afterword by Carson biographer Linda Lear.

This compilation of essays by leading scholars represents the first fruits of modern historical scholarship on the chemical sciences.
