| Chemical engineers and those in related disciplines will avidly welcome this impressive five-volume compilation that updated the classic Encyclopedia of Chemical Processing and Design, ed. by J. J. McKetta et. al. (1976). The approximately 250 signed articles, mostly by academic authors, are clearly written, well organized, and abundantly illustrated. … In addition to the usual topics in chemical processing, such as catalysis, polymers, and unit operations, there are new sections on nanotechnology, biotechnology, and microelectronic materials. … because of its breadth and overall quality, this multivolume set is indispensable for all libraries supporting studies in chemical engineering and related fields, … Summing up: Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above.
—M. A. Manion, University of Massachusetts at Lowell, in Choice, Vol. 43, No. 10, June 2006
Collecting information of vital interest to chemical, polymer, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers, as well as chemists and chemical researchers, this Encyclopedia supplies nearly 350 articles on current design, engineering, science, and manufacturing practices—offering expertly written articles on technologies at the forefront of the field to maximize and enhance the research and production phases of current and emerging chemical manufacturing practices and techniques.
