Handbook of Solvents, Fourth Edition, Volume One provides a comprehensive survey of the science of solvents and their properties, covering all aspects of solvent behavior relevant to chemical and related industries, including agricultural and technical processes, inorganic synthesis, materials chemistry, and more. Divided into two volumes that cover high-level information on the physical chemical properties of the most relevant solvent systems, sections focus on a specific aspect of solvent properties that determine selection, such as the effect on properties of solutes and solutions, properties of different groups of solvents, and the summary of their applications’ effect on health and the environment.
With insights from specialists in a broad array of different areas and written with an interdisciplinary audience in mind, this thoroughly revised edition provides readers with a complete overview of all the organic solvents available for industrial applications today.
