History
First published in 1914 by Professor Fritz Ullmann in Berlin, the Enzyklopädie der Technischen Chemie (as the German title read) quickly became the standard reference work in industrial chemistry. Generations of chemists have since relied on ULLMANN'S as their prime reference source. Further German editions followed in 1928 - 1932 and 1951 - 1970. The 25 volumes of the 4th Edition, published in 1972 - 1984, were divided into an alphabetically ordered series of 18 volumes and a general series of six volumes which gave an account of the principles and methods of chemical engineering and process technology. ULLMANN'S Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Edition, was published from 1985 to 1996. This is the first e
