Industrial Chemistry examines the chemical processes performed in industry and looks at how they affect our livesby discussing the by-products, pollution/ waste generation, and attempts at making processes more ecologically friendly, or greener. The author establishes connections between basic chemistry and the chemical processes that are used in real life. This 2nd Edition includes expanded and revised chapters, e.g. on fuel production.
