Excerpt from Outlines of Industrial Chemistry: A Text-Book for StudentsThe object of this book is to furnish an elementary course in Industrial Chemistry, which may serve as the ground work for a more extended course of lectures, if desired. The writer has endeavored to describe brie¿y, within the limits of one moderate sized volume, the more important industrial chemical processes, but omitting matters of detail which properly belong in the larger hand books. Numerous references are made in the text to periodicals and journals, and to the standard hand-books and encyclopaedias and many special works, where details, lacking in this book, may be found. The bibliographical lists following each section are not complete, but only include those works which will usually be found in most chemical libraries, the references to the journal literature are merely those articles to which the author's attention has been drawn in the preparation of class-room exercises. The diagrams illustrating the text have, in most cases, been drawn as simply as possible, purposely showing only the essential features.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
