This chapter has touched upon only a few of the core chemical industries petroleum refining, rubber, plastics, and textiles. A comprehensive review of the chemical industry would include agrochemicals, glass, pharmaceuticals, paper, metals, photography, brewing, cement, ceramics, printing, and paints. As the twenty-first century unfolds, the chemical industry will continue to play a dominant role in dictating our quality of life. The core...

Workers in printing and painting occupations may also be exposed. Inhalation of aerosols or mists is the primary occupational exposure route. 

In the solvent recycling industry, most of the solvents form azeotropes with water. Solvents come from the pharmaceutical industry, specialty chemicals, printing and paint industry, cosmetic industry, and petrochemical industry. These mixed solvents are very difficult to dry. Conventional methods cannot dehydrate complex solvent mixtures. However, AZEO SEP pervaporation membranes have demonstrated that even complex solvent mixtures can be dehydrated to a very high level of purity. 

Spreading of liquids over solid surfaces is one of the fundamental processes, with a number of applications such as coating, printing, and painting. In the previous chapter, we considered the spreading over smooth homogeneous surfaces. It has been established that singularity at the three-phase contact line is removed by the action of surface forces (see Section 3.2).
