Comyns4th ed.Boca Raton :CRC Press,[2014]©20141 online resource (418 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4665-6776-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front Cover; Back CoverIn the six years since the third edition was completed, there have been major changes in the chemical industry. Biotechnology is quickly overtaking the petrochemicals industry as the dominant sector. These changes are reflected in the new processes being developed, many of which have their own names. Of course, niche improvements are still being made in petrochemistry, and some of these have new names too. Gathering and defining a large portion of special named processes that may fall outside of standard chemical texts or be scattered among industry manuals, Encyclopedic Dictionary of Named Processes in Chemical Technology, Fourth Edition provides a single-source reference to an extensive array of named processes. Written by a highly experienced and respected author, this user-friendly text is presented in a practical dictionary format that is useful for a broad audience including industrial chemists and engineers--Provided by publisher.Named processes in chemical technologyChemical processesDictionariesChemical processes660/.28SCI013060bisacshComyns Alan E.313396FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910789118903321Encyclopedic dictionary of named processes in chemical technology720771UNINA03961nam 2200685Ia 450 991097116020332120251116143310.01-134-62030-61-134-62031-41-280-20248-30-203-45998-90-203-25466-X10.4324/9780203459980 (CKB)111056485540022(EBL)166475(OCoLC)52111231(SSID)ssj0000201731(PQKBManifestationID)11168672(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000201731(PQKBWorkID)10246144(PQKB)10855835(MiAaPQ)EBC166475(Au-PeEL)EBL166475(CaPaEBR)ebr10053864(CaONFJC)MIL20248(EXLCZ)9911105648554002220000504d2000 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrMetaphors and the dynamics of knowledge /Sabine Maasen and Peter Weingart1st ed.London ;New York Routledge20001 online resource (197 p.)Routledge studies in social and political thought ;26Description based upon print version of record.0-415-86275-2 0-415-20802-5 Includes bibliographical references (p.
