Martin B. Hocking (University of Victoria). Academic Press: New York. 1998. xxiv+ 777 pp. $125. ISBN 0-12-350810-X. The stated objectives of this book are to provide a “unified treatment of the fields of industrial and environmental chemistry”, with a target audience including senior students in applied chemistry, engineering, and environmental programs, as well as professionals and consultants employed in these areas. The underlying philosophy in this work is that a combined presentation of the process chemistry and emissions information provides a context for understanding the nature and sources of emissions. It also provides an opportunity for identifying process changes for reducing environmental impact in existing facilities, rather than adding on “end-of-pipe” treatment solutions. Any single volume book with such a large scope is bound to disappoint some readers, due to a lack of information on their topic of interest. With that limitation in mind, it can be said that the book does a reasonable job presenting an overview of the primary chemicals industries of interest in Canada and the United States. Examples include sodium and potassium salts, sulfuric, nitric and phosphoric acid, ammonia, metals (aluminum, copper, iron, and steel), pulp and paper, petroleum production, refining and petrochemicals, and polymers. The first chapter (Background and Technical Aspects) gives a very brief overview of some chemical engineering core material, ie, economy of scale, reactor types, conversion and yield, and instrumentation. It is perhaps of importance and interest to students in applied chemistry but will be largely known already to practitioners. No separation technologies are discussed here, although distillation of ethanol and crude oil is covered in later chapters dealing with fermentation and refining, respectively. It might be worthwhile including some more extensive discussion on separations in future editions, since incomplete separations are frequently a source of pollution generation in chemical processing.
