Looking for a Comprehensive Guide on Green Chemistry? Any Book Recommendations?

Click For Summary
Green chemistry focuses on the design and application of chemical products and processes that minimize hazards to human health and the environment. It aims to eliminate or reduce the use and generation of harmful substances. The discussion emphasizes the need for a clear definition of green chemistry to maintain focus. Participants suggest exploring various resources, including books and references, to enhance understanding of the topic. The Wikipedia article on green chemistry is recommended for additional information. There is also a query about the nature of the project, whether it involves writing an essay, conducting a survey, or performing a laboratory project, indicating the need for tailored resources based on the project's format.

TL;DR
I'm an undergraduate and I'm supposed to make a project on "Green Chemistry".so if you guys have any suggestions for a good book?

What, per se, is Green Chemistry?
We should have a definition first so we don't go off on tangents.

Green chemistry is a new technique devoted to the synthesis, processing, and application of chemical
materials in such manner as to minimize hazards to humankind and the environment.
or we can also say that ,
Green chemistry is the strategy of designing chemical products and processes in a way that eliminates or reduces the use and generation of substances which are hazardous to heath and environment.

kindly suggest book that i could read or any refrences or topics that i could include.
Thank You.

Not one technique but a battery of quite different ones, all with the same objective of finding far less polluting or unhealthy of energetically wasteful production or uses of chemicals.

By 'project' do you mean an essa, survey, or laboratory project?
 
Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
I'm making poor man's nitric acid to refine silver from scrap. I would like to waste as little as possible. I've noticed that about half the acid is destroyed oxidizing the metals, and I'd like to reduce that if possible. One reference mentioned that I lose only one in four in a "dilute solution" instead of half. How dilute must it be to allow the NO2 to disproportionate so that half of it will redissolve and become nitric acid again?
