This concise set of notes by IITM
Murthal provides insight into applied chemistry, from essential topics such as
electrochemistry, types of electrolytes, and the principles that govern
oxidation and reduction, leading up to Faraday's laws of electrolysis and the
industrial applications of electrolysis, which is exactly why this can prove so
useful for interested students with a bent towards practical application in
industry. Notes on fuels, lubricants, polymers, and plastics round out the
treatment, giving a fuller appreciation of how chemistry interacts with everyday
materials. It is written for the engineering student, preparing them to apply
chemical principles in a variety of engineering environments.
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.
