The "Handbook of Soap Manufacture" by W. H. Simmons and H. A. Appleton is an
inclusive guide that has been dedicated to industry workers and newcomer
stakeholders interested in soap production. It contains the constitution of oils
and fats, discussing their saponification processes, while describing raw
materials for soapmaking. It consists of practical subjects such as bleaching
and processing of ingredients, different types of soaps, perfume incorporation,
glycerine production, glycerine purification, analysis of raw materials, etc.
Therefore, facilitating very complex information, this book can simply be said
to be the precious gold of any individual who wishes to gain a thorough
understanding of the soap industry along with production techniques.
It is a treasure of comprehensive
information put together by Bharath Institute of Science and Technology, for
students pursuing a career in engineering studies. It deals with all the major
issues: water technology, polymers, electrochemistry, corrosion and control and
ways to nonconventional energy sources. The course content is designed to
clearly depict the practical applications of chemistry in engineering contexts.
This resource will be designed with concise explanations and relevant examples
to enhance students' understanding of chemical principles and their preparation
to face challenges both in the academic and professional spheres.

Lecture notes prepared
by Mr. M Praveen for the lectures meant to give engineering students based in
different fields of engineering foundational principles of chemistry. The key
topics that are covered in this course include electrochemistry, batteries,
corrosion control, and water technology, which cover the basic chemical aspects
of all these. This material deals with the chemistry of materials, fuels, and
combustion, giving the student background knowledge to apply chemical concepts
effectively. These notes will make studying easier for students, and with clear
explanations as well as practical applications, the feeling about how chemistry
plays into everyday engineering practices and innovations will grow even
bigger.
