The Chemical Process Industries by Shreve (15) contains many flow sheets with quantitative data. That book was published in 1945 and a revision is underway. There is now being written, for 1953 publication, the Chemical Business Handbook 12) in which one of the co-editors, J. R. Skeen, has very carefully recalculated and arranged in tabular form all the available unit consumption factors that he can find. For many years Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, now called Chemical Engineering, has published separately a book of flow sheets. The last edition was revised by Olive and Shreve (II). Nine-tenths of these flow sheets with comments are in Chemical Process Industries (15). 

The author, in preparing a chapter for the Chemical Business Handbook, edited by John H. Perry (4), examined most of the data published since 1948. It became apparent that data comes from a wide variety of sources. Using F. D. SnelFs Chemical Market Reportj which is published monthly (f), it was easy to check the material which...

The Aldrich Catalog. Aldrich Chemical Co., Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin.) Not your traditional hard-bound reference handbook, but a handy book, nonetheless.

As Aldrich is in the business of selling chemicals to industry, many industrial references are given.

In choosing topics for inclusion in this handbook, the intent has been to provide a comprehensive coverage of those separation processes on which much of the chemical and related businesses are based. In addition, some separation processes were selected for coverage based on their potential industrial applications. A complete coverage of the latter category would have resulted in an overbalanced and exceedingly large volume therefore, some separation techniques that will be developed into commercially successfiil operations undoubtedly have been overlooked.
