The General Introduction consists of five chapters, providing a concise overview of the concept of solvents, their classification, various properties, purity and refining, safe use, handling, and comprehensive utilization of solvents. The Specific Sections are divided into twelve chapters, categorizing and introducing 760 solvents based on functional groups, including: alkanes (84), halogenated hydrocarbons (100), alcohols (70), phenols (7), ethers (57), ketones (33), acids and anhydrides (17), esters (137), nitrogen-containing solvents (98), sulfur-containing solvents (11), polyfunctional solvents (130), and inorganic solvents (16). Each solvent is highlighted for its physicochemical properties, solvent performance, refining methods, applications, and usage precautions, accompanied by references for data sources, an index, and national standards for solvents. This book is suitable for researchers and laboratory, testing, quality control, and sales personnel in industries such as chemical, light industry, food, and pharmaceuticals. It can also serve as a reference for faculty and students of relevant disciplines in universities and research institutions.
