Critical to truly understanding pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, and plastics, the Handbook of Industrial Chemistry provides the chemical properties and principles for the analyses and processes used in producing non-petroleum-based organic products.

Packed with useful tables, formulas, and equations, this problem-solving handbook provides coverage, which ranges from basic to complex, of the chemical processes for products such as:

• Paints, pigments, and industrial coatings
• Dyestuffs, and finishing and dyeing of textiles
• Industrial fermentation
• Chemical explosives
• Non-petroleum processing and petrochemicals
• Polymers and plastics
