N2  - Industrial Organic Chemistry is a comprehensive reference text that explains the principles, technologies, and economic aspects of large-scale organic chemical production. Written by Klaus Weissermel and Hans‑Jürgen Arpe, and translated by Charlet R. Lindley and Stephen Hawkins, the book focuses on the major raw materials, intermediates, and industrial processes used in the chemical industry.

The text covers the production and transformation of important industrial chemicals such as olefins, acetylene, alcohols, aromatic compounds, synthesis gas derivatives, vinyl compounds, and polymer intermediates. It explains reaction mechanisms, catalysts, process engineering, feedstock selection, and economic considerations behind industrial-scale manufacturing. The authors also discuss energy resources, petrochemical feedstocks, environmental concerns, and technological developments in organic chemical industries.

A major strength of the book is its integration of chemistry with industrial practice. Flow diagrams, process schemes, and statistical data are used to show how laboratory chemistry is translated into commercial production. The work serves both as a textbook for students of chemistry and chemical engineering and as a reference source for industrial chemists and process engineers
