Purification of Laboratory Chemicals - the only comprehensive chemical purification reference and a market leader since 1966 - delivers essential information for research and industrial chemists, pharmacists and engineers. It describes contemporary basic methods for the purification of chemical compounds. This essential lab practice and procedures manual helps chemists and engineers improve efficiency, results and safety by providing critical information for day-to-day lab and processing work.

Purification of Laboratory Chemicals, 9th Edition continues to tabulate methods taken from literature for purifying thousands of individual commercially available chemical substances. To help in applying this information, the more common processes currently used for purification in chemical laboratories and new methods are discussed. For dealing with substances not separately listed, a chapter is included setting out the usual methods for purifying specific classes of compounds. These substances are commonly used in all laboratories that use chemicals.

Laboratory workers, whether carrying out research or routine work will invariably need to consult this book. Apart from the procedures described, the large amount of physical data about the listed chemicals is essential for carrying out the work. Safety awareness and procedures are emphasized throughout the edition.

This fully updated, revised and expanded new edition includes the purification of many new substances that have been available commercially since 2017 as well as previously available substances which have found new applications. This new edition has been split in two parts, accommodating easier handling of this massive work in print.

Part 1 focusses on common physical techniques used in purification, chemical methods used in purification and purification of organic chemicals.
