This vitally important n e w m o n o g r a p h offers the first complete treatment ever p u b l i s h e d o n the subject of furan chemistry. I n direct, readable style, it p r o v i d e s a ready source of information o n the behavior and applications of all furan types, i n c l u d i n g industrially important furfural. For the practicing c h e m i s t and t e c h n o l o g i s t , the b o o k is conveniently divided i n t o t w o separate sections. T h e first deals w i t h the chemistry of furan c o m p o u n d s , i n c l u d i n g the behavior characteristics of the furan ring, type derivatives and type r e a c t i o n s w i t h special attention given to r i n g cleavages. X h e s e c o n d s e c t i o n is d e v o t e d t o the industrial application of furfural and its derivatives. Here, separate chapters describe the c h e m i c a l intermediate uses such as nylon, lycine, dihydropyran, etc., the solvent and selective solvent applications, and the commercial outlets i n the resin field. D u n l o p and Peters' m o n o g r a p h will prove invaluable t o industrial research p e r s o n n e l at all levels, and especially in the fields of petroleum, vegetable o i l s , r e s i n s and o r g a n i c chemicals. Students w i l l find the arrangement of the b o o k w i t h its extensive b i b l i o g r a p h i e s ideally suited for courses in advanced heteroc y c l i c chemistry. 864 pages, $18.00

Chemical Process Machinery SECOND EDITION
by E. R a y m o n d Riegel Formerly Professor of Industrial Chemistry, University o f Buffalo
This new, greatly enlarged edition of RiegeFs widelyadopted Chemical Machinery brings the material of the previous volume abreast of latest developments in the equipment of the chemical and process industries. Listing only equipment now commercially available, RiegeFs book now describes and illustrates such striking new devices as multispheres and multicylinders, high-speed centrifugal separators and such new or greatly improved equipment as the P-A cyclonic spray tower, the P-A Venturi scrubber, continuous crystallizers, absorption refrigerators, the molecular still, and the^ turbo-drier. As with the previous edition, classification of equipment by function gives the discussion a natural and logical organization which will appeal both to students and t o practicing industrial engineers. The book will also prove o f exceptional value to executives in all of the chemical and process industries who wish to select and utilize those machines best suited to their particular requirements. 1953, 7SO pages, $12.50

edited by CARL S. MINER, Director and Founder, The Miner Laboratories, Chicago, Illinois, and N . N . D A L T O N , Past Research Director, Glycerine Producers 1 Association of America
Written and edited by leading research scientists under the sponsorship of the Glycerine Producers' Association of America, this valuable new monograph brings you for the first time complete information on the sources, recovery, refining and uses of glycerol. All of the important recent developments in the field— synthetic glycerol, purification by ion exchange, and many others—together with latest designs in equipment are fully discussed. Especially useful to chemists, purchasing agents and executives is the complete chapter on standards and specifications. This chapter, as well as those on analysis, physical and chemical properties, offers latest available data in easy-toread tabular form. As the only complete, up-to-date book available on its subject, Miner and Dalton's monograph will prove indispensable to all glycerol producers and refiners. 1 9 5 3 f 500 pages, $12.00
