Is there a book, website or youtube channel that describes the chemical process for making different chemicals?

For example, I worked at a Urea plant and I'm curious to know the process for other chemicals such as surfactants, phosphoric acid, etc.

Ullmann's Encyclopedia on Industrial Chemistry has ballooned out to 40volumes now and costs a bomb - they also have a CDROM version.
