Customer Reviews

I wish I could own this.

Throughly intellegent comprehensive technical but good for non chemical reader.

the premier information source in its area

For twenty five years, the Kirk Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology has been a very valuable reference source for a non-chemist. As a toxicologist who must have some basic knowledge of chemical technology on a wide variety of subjects, this reference has been invaluable.

A masterpiece in the field of chemical technology

Any one single topic if put into a practically operating production unit, the total cost of book will be just a token value. Well done. Accept compliments for such a sincere work to be remembered.
