Inorganic chemistry is of great economic and industrial importance. It provides not only metals, fertilizers, construction materials, pigments and glass, but also countless raw materials for the organic chemicals industry. Many modern industrial products (video-cassettes, optical fibers or chips for micro- electronics) would be inconceivable without the application of industrial inorganic chemistry. This book offers a comprehensive description of all these areas: Details on manufacturing processes, important economic aspects, ecological consequences, energy and raw material consumption and many other facts and figures are compiled for easy reference. The book is intended for students, university lecturers, chemists and engineers in industry, businessmen and lawyers. They will find reliable, detailed information that is difficult to obtain from other sources, as well as extensive references and a guide to further reading. The particular value of this book lies in its clear descriptions and its emphasis on the interrelationship between industrial and economic factors.
