F irst 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 twenty-five volumes of the fourth 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, Fifth Edition, was published from 1985 to 1996. This is the first edition that was published in the English language. By doing so, the publisher could offer an even better service to the international readership who already found the German editions of Ullmann's invaluable. The printed version comprises 28 alphabetically arranged volumes, 8 volumes on general aspects such as chemical engineering, industrial safety, and analytical methods, and a cumulative index volumewith more than 80,000 carefully selected keywords. It contains also a German-English dictionary of technical terms. Altogether, the 37 volumes contain more than 800 major articles, written by almost 3,000 authors who are experts in their fields affiliated to leading chemical companies or research institutes, 10,000 tables, 20,000 figures, and innumerable references on more than 26,000 printed pages.
Since 1997, Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry is available in electronic format to ensure higher convenience and topicality. From 1998, the Sixth Edition has been published in the form of annual updates. This release is the fourth update: it contains about 50 new and revised articles with upto-date information and literature references dating as recent as 2000.

The electronic Encyclopedia on CD is equipped with a powerful retrieval software. It enables you to
• search for a word or phrase in the entire text
• use wildcards, Boolean operators, and proximity searching to expand the scope of the search and enhance the relevance of the results
• browse through articles
• follow cross references via hyperlinks
• look up literature references
• print out entries
• copy text into your Word for Windows documents.
Complicated searches that may be time-consuming with printed books can now be performed in seconds. This is achieved by using a number of helpful indexes, such as
• full text index
• author index
• CAS registry number index
• keyword index
• cross term index
and the possibility to enhance the relevance of the search results by confining the search to selected sections of the encyclopedia or of individual documents (e.g., tables or figure captions). Please note:
• In the electronic version, there will be no difference between articles from the "A" and "B" series.
• Because of their great average length, articles have been divided into individual documents on the chapter level to speed up the retrieval functions.
