“A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF BULK AND FINE CHEMICALS” deals with the classification of chemicals under different headings. In chemical technology, a distinction is made between bulk chemicals produced in massive quantities by standardized reactions, and fine chemicals are complex, single, pure chemical substances produced in limited quantities in multipurpose plants by multistep batch chemical or biotechnological processes. They are described by exacting specifications, used for further processing within the chemical industry. Comparative study of both these chemicals is also mentioned. The book’s content is divided into eight chapters that give a comprehensive overview of one of the most exciting and challenging segments of the modern chemical industry. Apart from the manufacturing process applications and properties of bulk and fine chemicals, it covers designing of vessel, storage of gas and liquid, composite materials, various types of glass in the industry, refrigeration process, brine, and different energy sources. This book is an invaluable resource for technologists, professionals and those who want to venture into this field. This book will serve as a reference for graduate, post-graduate students.
Finally, the author hopes that the book will communicate the information regarding the different topics covered and give the excitement that this field offers to those privileged to work in it.
