The 6th revised and enlarged edition of the Ullmann’s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry includes well over 800 articles on over 30 000 pages in 40 volumes.
Organized in alphabetical order, the chapters are easy to read and good starting points to introduce the reader to any topic. Literature and patent references guides to the relevant and accessible primary literature. Numerous cross-references lead to relevant chapters in the same context and a well organized index volume enables searching for keywords. Compared to the prior edition, almost 60% of the material has either been newly written or thoroughly updated. The rest has been checked for validity and newer references have been added throughout.
