About the Book

Containing most of the material in the "Chemical Technology Handbook", this book is an updated and much-expanded version of the handbook. Government regulations, especially those affecting safety, health and the environment, are constantly being revised and tightened. Similarly, recommended procedures for first aid and the assumed toxicity of hazardous substances change with time. Technicians must stay abreast of all changes that relate to their specific fields. Whether this book is used as a text or as a reference, it should better prepare the technician to do research assignments, design and build the necessary equipment, work in the laboratory with maximum safety and efficiency, do calculations easily and correctly, present meaningful results and suggest further work. Increasing the technician's ability to participate in an entire project, research or production process should make the job more interesting, more fulfilling and more valuable.
