Reviews from the previous edition:

\"The most indispensable reference in the English language on all aspects of chemical technology...the best reference of its kind\".

\"Overall, ECT is well written and cleanly edited, and no library claiming to be a useful resource for chemical engineering professionals should be without it.\"

—Nicholas Basta, Chemical Engineering, December 1992 '
