Solvent Recovery Handbook 2nd Edition sets out the physical properties of the fifty most commonly used solvents. The book supplies information on their behavior during and after use, health and fire hazards, the photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP), and recovery processes including practical aspects of the design and operation of batch stills.

It delivers state-of-the art coverage of every available recovery and disposal technology - including removing solvents from gas, water, and residues, separating used solvents, and drying solvents. What's more, you'll find fact-filled sections on the latest equipment, safe effective operating procedures, choosing solvents with recovery in mind, and much more.

Updated and expanded, The Solvent Recovery Handbook 2nd Edition hands you all the practical tools you need to efficiently and cost-effectively process harmful organic solvents after re-capture.
