Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology

Produced by John Wiley and Sons, is a comprehensive composition of applied chemical science and industrial technology, its methods and materials, as well as the latest scientific advances in every branch of the arts of chemistry. The database is the CD-ROM equivalent to the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Fourth Edition, well known as the standard reference work on any chemical topic or industry. The Encyclopedia describes the theory and practice of chemical engineering, the industrial production and uses of chemical materials, and basic subjects of chemistry. Each chapter in the hardcopy Kirk- Othmer is represented on this CD-ROM collection by a scanned image, including photos, illustrations, tables, and searchable text, and is divided into four types of records: chapter summary, text, table, and bibliography
