Phosphoric Acid Purification, Uses, Technology, and Economics

"This book is an essential read for anybody associated with the phosphoric acid industry and important for those interested in the development of the process industries. Phosphoric acid is the basic building block of many of the products we take for granted from fertilizers, food additives, for corrosion prevention, etc. This book describes the process for the production of phosphoric acid from phosphorite rock and its evolution over the last century."
-Professor Geoffrey W. Stevens, The University of Melbourne, Australia

"A very good read indeed, I enjoyed the introduction from an historical perspective, as well as the later chapters that covered the technical complexities of the WPA and PWA industries. An interesting primer on what it took and takes to succeed in the purified phosphoric acid business."
-Dr. Vaughn V. Astley, Dr. Phosphate, Inc., Lakeland, Florida, USA

"Production of phosphoric acid and its derivatives is a global business ... The book is comprehensive ... The fact that the later chapters of the book deal with sustainability/recycling issues distinguishes it from competitor texts ..."
-Dr. Paul Grassia, The University of Manchester, UK

"This book is the very first one focused on purification technology and makes a very precise summary of existing technics and units....may be the future bedside book for technicians and engineers of this industry."
-Yasef Murat, Corporate Director of Technology, Innophos, Cranbury Township, New Jersey, USA

"...gives an overall introduction on the history of phosphor discovery and utilization, reviews the production and application of phosphoric acid from fundamentals to engineering. Due to the clear outline, first-hand materials and concise summary, it is easy-to-read and well-inspired for multi-disciplinary students."
-Professor Guangsheng Luo, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
