4.0 out of 5 stars
Indepth & exhaustive review of CPI's,
By A Customer
This review is from: Organic Building Blocks of the Chemical Industry (Hardcover)
This book gives a lot of information about the history and development of the chemical process industry (CPI). Although a little old (published in 1989), it gives lot of insight about the future of chemical industry based on the current trends. Full credit to the author for covering as much information as possible, however, the verse could have been made more readable. The book mimics a handbook on organic chemical industry, but I think of it as a virtue rather than a shortcoming. A book recommended for chemical engineers who like chemistry.
