While the Beilstein file contains a good deal of data in this area, there are also excellent compilations dedicated to thermodynamic quantities. DETHERM is produced by Dechema, and contains thermophysical properties for ca. 17000 compounds and mixtures (see Chemical Engineering Databases). The subject matter is taken from phase equilibria, PVT behavior, thermodynamic quantities, transport phenomena, surface properties, and electrolyte properties. Attention must also be drawn to the compilations of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST Chemistry WebBook contains thermodynamic data for over 5000 compounds and ion energetics data for over 10000 compounds. The user may search on specific compounds based on name, chemical formula, or CAS Registry Number. Structures are given for all species, as well as common and commercial names.

Chemical Abstracts Service. The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, has produced Chemical Abstracts (CA) since 1907. Since the demise of Chemisches Zentralblatt and British Chemical Abstracts CA has been the preeminent medium for documenting new pubhcations in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. CA documents chemical pubHcations of all types. It is not a patent database per se, but its patent component is larger than most databases devoted entirely to patents. Thus, for example, the number of patent references in CA for the years 1991—1993 ranged from 95,500—99,400 per year. 

The DIPPR databases were developed in the United States by the Design Institute for Physical Properties of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. The DIPPR projects are aimed at providing evaluated process design data for the design of chemical processes and equipment (www.aiche.org/dippr/projects.htm). The Project 801 has been made available to university departments see Rowley et al. (2004) and http.//dippr.byu. edu/description/htm.

Only one publicly available database is designed to provide such information. The Accident Database from the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) contains lessons learned for one-fourth of the 12,000 incidents in the database.

The Accident Database is a compilation of safety case studies and accident reported compiled by the (UK) Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). The database is a subscription product but a time-limited trial version is available.
