Fundamentals of Industrial Chemistry
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-118-61756-4 (ISBN)
This book discusses the connectivity between major chemicals, showing how a chemical is made along with why and some of the business considerations. The book helps smooth a student’s transition to industry and assists current professionals who need to understand the larger picture of industrial chemistry principles and practices. The book:
Addresses a wide scope of content, emphasizing the business and polymer / pharmaceutical / agricultural aspects of industrial chemistry
Covers patenting, experimental design, and systematic optimization of experiments
Written by an author with extensive industrial experience but who is now a university professor, making him uniquely positioned to present this material
Has problems at the end of chapters and a separate solution manual available for adopting professors
Puts chemical industry topics in context and ties together many of the principles chemistry majors learn across more specific courses
John Tyrell teaches a number of chemistry courses that include Industrial and Polymer Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Dr. Tyrell holds sixty-eight patents and has more than twenty years of industrial research experience, at Lederle Laboratories, General Electric Plastics, and OxyChem. He co-authored the book Fundamentals of Heterocyclic Chemistry: Importance in Nature and in the Synthesis of Pharmaceuticals which was published by Wiley.
