Pollution Prevention in Industrial Processes: The Role of Process Analytical Chemistry

Focuses on pollution prevention as the technologically viable environmental ethic of the 1990s. Features chapters from industry on the successful application of modern process analytical chemistry to problems of waste minimization, source reduction, and pollution prevention. Examines recent academic and U.S. Department of Energy efforts in the development and potential use of on-line analysis to monitor industrial processes. Showcases the National Science Foundation's highly successful university-industry-government cooperative research program at University of Washington's Center for Process Analytical Chemistry.
