Ullmann's
Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 6th Edition, 40 volume set
 89 years of expertise in applied and industrial chemistry - Ullmann's is back in print!
Generations of chemists and engineers have relied on the well structured and trusted information from Ullmann's Encyclopedia - and you still can count on Ullmann's with the current 6th edition in print.
Ullmann's is a synonym for the world's most current and trustworthy knowledge in everything that relates to the chemical industry, be it processes, chemicals, products, analytical chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology..........you name it, Ullmann's has it - well over 800 articles on over 30 000 printed pages in 40 volumes. Organized in alphabetical order, the chapters are easy to read and excellent starting points to introduce you to any topic. Over 15 000 tables and 25 000 figures (some of them in color) make it easy for you to quickly find what you are looking for. Countless literature and patent references guide you to the relevant and accessible primary literature. Numerous cross-references point you to relevant chapters in the same context and a well organized index volume enables searching for keywords. Finding what you need is very simple indeed and you won't have to ask for a user's manual for this massive work!
Supervised by an internationally acclaimed advisory board, the articles are written by over 3000 international experts from industry and universities, thoroughly edited to uniform style and layout in an in-house office. All figures are re-drawn to give a maximum of clarity and uniformity in style. Compared to the prior edition, almost 60% of the material has either been newly written or thoroughly updated. The rest has been checked for validity and newer references have been added throughout.
First published in 1914 by Professor Fritz Ullmann in Berlin,
the Enzyklopädie der Technischen Chemie (as the
German title read) quickly became the standard reference work
in industrial chemistry. Generations of chemists have since relied
on Ullmann's as their prime reference source. Further German
editions followed in 1928 - 1932 and 1951 - 1970. The twenty-five
volumes of the fourth edition, published in 1972 - 1984, were
divided into an alphabetically ordered series of 18 volumes and
a general series of six volumes which gave an account of the principles
and methods of chemical engineering and process technology.

Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Fifth Edition,
was published from 1985 to 1996. This is the first edition that
was published in the English language. By doing so, the publisher
could offer an even better service to the international readership
who already found the German editions of Ullmann's invaluable.
Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Sixth Edition,
was published in one go in December 2002. The 40 volumes including
one index volume contain more than 800 major articles, organized
in alphabetical order, written by more than 3,000 experts which
provide the latest information from leading chemical companies.
Over 15,000 tables, 25,000 figures, and innumerable references
on more than 30,000 printed pages offer a wealth of information
to the reader.
Since 1997, Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry
has been available in electronic format to ensure higher convenience
and topicality. From 1998, the Sixth Edition has been published
in the form of annual updates. This release is the third release
of the seventh edition: it contains about 5 new and revised articles,
plus information and literature references dating as recent as
2003.
