Nice companion for an Industrial Chemistry Course,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Survey of Industrial Chemistry (Hardcover)
It's well suited as home reference material for chemistry students taking a industrial chemistry course. Even professors (and not only in IndChem) can get some ideas for exams here.
This book is a little bit old, but some of its contents offer an alternative to consulting Kirk-Othmer's Encyclopedia.
