  • Enables complete material balances to be made from physical properties and typical yield data
    Advancing the successful features that led to the adoption of previous editions at numerous colleges and universities, including Harvard University, the Colorado School of Mines, the University of Houston, and the University of Pittsburgh, the Fourth Edition also offers




  • End-of-chapter problems, equations, illustrative tables, notes, and bibliographies



  • An ongoing case-study problem
