Sommario/riassunto

Along with the first volume on ""Industrial Chemistry"" this book discusses, illustrates and explains many of the major chemical processes performed by industry, looks at how transformations affect the quality of our lives, examines the various types of waste produced as necessary products are developed and marketed, and shows techniques and practices in which many industries have made strides to improve or ""green"" specific chemical processes.
