Description for Industrial Inorganic Chemicals and Products

Inorganic chemicals are an essential part of today's world. Modern developments in industry, such as chips for microelectronics and superconductors, are made possible due to developments in the inorganic chemical industry.

Examples of the industrial uses of inorganic products include:

• Ammonia - basis of all nitrogen fertilizers
• Sulfuric Acid - one of the most important reagents
• Phosphorus - not limited to matches

All of the information on inorganic chemicals and products found in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry is brought to you in this accessible major reference work - Industrial Inorganic Chemicals and Products.

Industrial Inorganic Chemicals and Products is an invaluable source of information for everyone interested in the industrial side of inorganic chemicals. The Ullmann's name has been associated with high quality for over 80 years. With over 130 articles and 300 contributors, Industrial Inorganic Chemicals and Products provides industry professionals and academia an in-depth, industrial perspective on manufacturing, design and operations.

Industrial Inorganic Chemicals and Products is tailor-made for anyone interested in inorganic chemicals and materials. It bridges the gap between basic research, chemical engineering, and chemical marketing. It will become a benchmark work for many years to come.

The more than 130 contributions reflect the importance of inorganic chemicals as finished products (e.g., fertilizers, lime and limestone), high-tech materials (e.g., glass ceramics, metallic glasses), and basic products for the organic chemical industry, such as mineral acids, oxidizing agents and halogens.

Each article is designed with the reader in mind. It provides a clear sense of orientation and rapid access to a wealth of information. This, together with top-quality graphic material, well-designed illustrations, diagrams, formula, tables and charts, sets a new standard for inorganic chemistry reference works.

The typical structure of an article is as follows:

• Introduction
• Properties
• Chemical Reactions
• Production
• Legal Aspects
• Quality and Analysis
• Uses
• Economic Aspects
• Toxicology and Occupational Health
• References

Over 130 entries in alphabetical order, extensively cross-referenced.
