The Essential Chemical Industry: Book cover

Nigel Colenutt reviews the fifth edition

Many years ago when the school curriculum was experiencing yet another change there was a requirement to include content on the chemical industry, processes, economics and environmental impact but there were very few resources. So there was great excitement in the prep room when an earlier edition of this book arrived. It was comprehensive, authoritative, up to date and provided a great deal of help to teachers. Modern syllabus specific texts now cover the processes required for their syllabus but nowhere will you find a volume that covers so much of the chemical industry in one place.
