Introduction to Petroleum Chemicals emerged from a series of lectures on the petroleum
chemical industry given at the Manchester College of Science and Technology during
the fall and winter of 1959. The book does not claim to be an exhaustive treatment
of petroleum chemicals, but attempts to a survey of the important aspects of the industry
at its present level of development. The course was given by chemists and chemical
engineers engaged in the chemical industry of Britain, giving the text a British and
European, as distinct from American, flavor. The book begins with a discussion of
