Inorganic Chemistry: An Industrial and Environmental Perspective

Inorganic Chemistry: An Industrial and Environmental Perspective
T. W. Swaddle | 1997-03-10 00:00:00 | Academic Press | 482 | Internal Medicine
This book addresses the question, What is inorganic chemistry good for? rather than the more traditional question, How can we develop a theoretical basis for inorganic chemistry from sophisticated theories of bonding? The book prepares students of science or engineering for entry into the multi-billion-dollar inorganic chemical and related industries, and for rational approaches to environmental problems such as pollution abatement, corrosion control, and water treatment. A much expanded and updated revision of the 1990 text, Applied Inorganic Chemistry (University of Calgary Press), Inorganic Chemistry covers topics including atmospheric pollution and its abatement, water conditioning, fertilizers, cement chemistry, extractive metallurgy, metallic corrosion, catalysts, fuel cells and advanced batter technology, pulp and paper production, explosives, supercritical fluids, sol-gel science, materials for electronics, and superconductors. Though the book waswritten as a textbook for undergraduates with a background of freshman chemistry, it will also be a valuable sourcebook for practicing chemists, engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, and educators.

Key Features
* Presents the principles of inorganic chemistry in terms of its relevance to the real world of industry and environmental protection
* Serves as a concise reference for practicing scientists, engineers, and educators
* Emphasizes industrially relevant energetics and kinetics rather than bonding theories
* Features extensive cross-referencing for easy location of supporting material
Reviews
This book is not very recent(I think it was published in '97 or so) but the contents is very complete. I recommend it mainly for chemical engineers who take inorganics course, or to anyone interested in the topics. It views the economic and environmental importance of chemical related industries, and explains in detail structures, processes, bonding, etc. I have not read it all, but so far, so good. Two thumbs up!
Reviews
The price was fair, the book is in really good conditions and I received it within 3 weeks (that's good for this kind of international delivery)
