Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This Primer describes the fundamental science underlying the development of processes for the manufacture of Fine Chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Understanding the scientific bases which underlie these chemical processes is vital in the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in the future. Yet this is the only text in the field which specifically covers this important topic. The book outlines both the strategies employed in process development and also the chemical and chemical engineering concepts involved.
MoreLong description:
The Fine Chemicals industry is concerned with the manufacture of relatively small volume products by multistage manufacturing processes. Pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, colouring materials and biocidal compounds are typical examples. Understanding the fundamental science behind these chemical processes is of great benefit in the development of efficient, high-yielding and environmentally friendly processes.
However, there are no other texts which specifically address this topic by covering the physiochemical principles underpinning the subject. This primer outlines the strategy for obtaining the requisite data, and then goes on to outline the chemical and chemical engineering concepts involved in process development. These include a description of pre-reaction equilibria in single and two-phase systems, factors influencing selectivity in competing reactions, mixing effects in single and two-phase reactions, the science behind workup processes, and a discussion of the principles behind scale-up.
"This book [makes] invaluable reading for undergraduates with a basic knowledge of physical organic chemistry and algebra. I recommend it." James Betts in Education in Chemistry, May 2001
