The book explains how major organic compounds are manufactured on a commercial scale, beginning with raw materials such as petroleum, natural gas, coal, and synthesis gas, and progressing through the chemistry, engineering, and economics of industrial processes. It covers the production and applications of hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, acids, polymers, detergents, dyes, and other key industrial chemicals. The authors emphasize the relationship between chemical reactions, catalysts, process technology, and market demand. The text also discusses process optimization, environmental considerations, energy efficiency, and developments in catalytic and petrochemical technologies. Numerous industrial flow diagrams and reaction schemes are included to illustrate large-scale manufacturing pathways and the interconnection between chemical products and feedstocks. The book is widely used by chemistry and chemical engineering students, researchers, and professionals as an introduction and reference for industrial organic chemistry UR - http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/167 ER -
