Industrial Solvents Handbook
Fifth Edition
by Ernest W. Flick
Completely revised, and vastly expanded, this well-established and successful
reference volume is designed principally for the chemical and other process industries,
but will be found useful by anyone needing the latest pertinent data on industrial solvents.
This Fifth Edition is uniquely helpful:
- when it becomes necessary to select a new solvent
on a competitive or comparative basis
- when the customary solvent, employed hitherto, might no longer be available, or can
no longer be used because of environmental reasons
- when prices have risen to such an extent that an existing process must be redesigned to make
it economically feasible again
The more than 1,200 tables in this book contain basic data on the physical
properties of most solvents and on the solubilities of a variety of materials in these
solvents. Even phase diagrams for multicomponent systems are included.
Particularly valuable are the HPLC and UV data for various solvents provided in the last chapter.
