Summary:
The second, revised and enlarged edition of this dictionary provides
a wealth of profound information on renewable resources. Topics are
all relevant plant and animal sources and the substances derived
thereof, the standard technologies of isolation and derivatization,
and the major fields of application - with regard to economic aspects
and future developments. In addition to the "classical" use as raw
materials of the chemical industry, the fields of energy/fuels,
practical applications, e.g. as construction and insulation
materials, the most important pharmaceutical agents, raw substances
of cosmetics and aromas are treated. Not only modern methods are
taken into account but also older, almost forgotten fields that
stimulate new considerations. Well written and carefully structured,
the dictionary is a very useful tool for a broad spectrum of users in
different fields of profession, e.g. in public institutions, science
and teaching or industry, in agriculture and ecology. Unique feature:
word indexes in English, German and French.
