(Covers the chemistry of Industrial processes from coal to...)
Covers the chemistry of Industrial processes from coal to petroleum to explosives to water and waste water treatment and pharmaceuticals and sulfuric acid. Industrial chemistry is when you scale up the reactions you learn in chemistry to produce them on a large, commercial scale, often cascading one reaction into the next to produce a series of products through a sequence of steps to maximize profit and degrade the wastes to a low energy form.

(Substantially revising nine widely-used previous editions...)
Substantially revising nine widely-used previous editions, this book offers a valuable overview of current chemical processes, products, and practices. No other source offers as much data on the chemistry, engineering, economics, and infrastructure of the industry. In addition to thoroughly revised material on chemical economics, safety, statistical control methods, and waste management, chapters on industrial cell culture and industrial fermentation expand the treatment of biochemical engineering. Sectors covered include: plastics, rubber, adhesives, textiles, pharmaceuticals, soap, coal, dyes, chlor-alkali, pigments, chemical explosives, petrochemicals, natural and industrial gas, synthetic nitrogen products, fats, sulfur, phosphorus, wood, and sweeteners. Comprehensive and easy to use, the tenth edition of Riegel's Handbook of Industrial Chemistry is an essential working tool for chemical and process engineers, chemists, plant and safety managers, and regulatory agency personnel.
