The encyclopedia consists of 37 volumes: 28 "A" volumes, 8 "B" volumes, and one cumulative Index volume.
Volumes A1 - A28 contain alphabetically ordered articles on industrial chemicals, product groups, and production processes.
Volumes B1 - B8 describe in detail the principles of chemical engineering, new and proven analytical methods, and the essentials of environmental protection technology.
"This is a major work, which will prove immensely valuable to institutions and authorities related to the chemical industry." - Chemistry & Industry
"...no science or engineering library should be without it." - Angewandte Chemie
"Ullmann's might well be preferred...because of its many convenience features and excellent organisation." - Chemical Engineering

Printed in an easy-to-read double column format, this completely revised fifth edition is really two time-saving encyclopedias in one. Divided into 36 volumes, the encyclopedia consists of an Alphabetically Ordered Series of 28 A volumes containing articles on industrial chemicals, product groups, and production processes covering all aspects of the chemical and allied industries. The Basic Knowledge Series includes 8 B volumes describing principles of chemical engineering, new and proven analytical methods, and the essentials of environmental protection technology. An updated Cumulative Index to both the A and B volumes is distributed annually.
