The book by
Jayashree A. Parikh includes the major areas of applied chemistry related to
corrosion, alloys, fuels, composite materials, and green chemistry. Applied
chemistry textbook stresses the practical application of chemical principles to
real-world situations. Some of the mechanisms of corrosion along with its
prevention, properties, and applications of various alloys, in addition to the
importance of sustainability practices in the study of chemistry are presented
here. It is meant for that reader who would care to learn about the chemical
properties and how this affects the modern materials and the environmental
practices; green chemistry emphasis would focus on finding environmentally
friendly alternatives, making this resource very relevant and timely in the
field.
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.
