Ullmanns Fine Chemicals: 3 Volume Set

A compilation of 76 articles from the ULLMANN′s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, this three–volume handbook contains a wealth of information on the production and industrial use of approximately 2000 of the most important fine chemicals, from "Alcohols" to "Urea Derivatives".

Chemical and physical characteristics, production processes and production fi gures, main uses, toxicology and safety information are all found here in one single resource, complete with an extensive subject index.

Articles have been taken from the 7th printed edition of the ULLMANN′s Encyclopedia, published in August 2011, including several new or revised articles published in 2012 and 2013
