Description: Solvents are
used in nearly all industries, from cosmetics to semiconductors, and from
biotechnology research to iron and steel production. This book is a
comprehensive and extensive textual analysis of the principles of solvent
selection and use. It is a balanced presentation of solvent performance,
processing characteristics, and environment and health issues.
The book is
intended to help formulators select ideal solvents, safety coordinators to
protect workers, legislators and inspectors to define and implement technically
correct public safeguards on solvent use, handling, and disposal.
The contributors
are members of prestigious universities and industries from around the world.
Altogether, they have written 47 books and hundreds of paper on the subject of
solvents. Here they give a synthesis of their experiences and opinions on how
to best change the global use of solvents in order to both benefit from the
technology, and limit health, safety, and environmental risks.
