Summary
Summary
Striking a balance between basic chemistry and chemical engineering, this up-to-date reference discusses important aspects of acetic acid and its major derivatives, including chemistry, methods of preparation and manufacture, and synthesis, as well as current and emerging downstream technologies.;The book provides comprehensive physical property data for compounds and their separation, including acetic acid-water separation. Describing five categories of techniques for the manufacture of acetic acid, it: examines thermophysical properties and aqueous solutions, with detailed explanations of mathematical models and correlations; supplies a critical analysis of property; outlines manufacturing costs and related economic factors; reviews the applications of acetic acid and derivatives; covers the chemistry and preparation of the derivatives; elucidates recent topics such as deicers, esters and new esterification technologies.

Choice Review
Agreda and Zoeller describe the chemistry, thermophysics, and selected process engineering and economics of acetic acid and its derivatives. Their book is divided into three sections: the first deals with the methods of manufacture of acetic acid; the second with the properties of acetic acid and its aqueous solutions; and the third, the uses and manufacture of selected derivatives of acetic acid. The editors and contributors are all employees of Eastman Chemical Company and are presumably experts in this field of chemistry. Most appropriate for practicing industrial chemists, but graduate students and faculty in chemistry and chemical engineering also may find it useful. P. A. Gebauer; Monmouth College (IL)
