The
Applied Chemistry from the University of Barcelona PDF is an application
guide for lab practice experiments that a student should go through; it covers
plenty of various types of laboratory experiments and chemical principles, such
as practical applications in terms of synthesis for coordination compounds,
titration methods, and extraction of caffeine from beverages, with essential
concepts in terms of the Lambert-Beer law, redox titrations, and kinetics of
reactions. It is a resource that encourages hands-on learning as it gives the
learner the opportunity to test or try out theoretical knowledge using
experimenters. It is mixed with practical laboratory techniques that blend
foundational chemistry concepts and, thus, very helpful in students who intend
to develop practical experience in applied chemistry.
The "Handbook of Soap Manufacture" by W. H. Simmons and H. A. Appleton is an
inclusive guide that has been dedicated to industry workers and newcomer
stakeholders interested in soap production. It contains the constitution of oils
and fats, discussing their saponification processes, while describing raw
materials for soapmaking. It consists of practical subjects such as bleaching
and processing of ingredients, different types of soaps, perfume incorporation,
glycerine production, glycerine purification, analysis of raw materials, etc.
Therefore, facilitating very complex information, this book can simply be said
to be the precious gold of any individual who wishes to gain a thorough
understanding of the soap industry along with production techniques.
