Excerpt from Outlines of Industrial Chemistry: A Text-Book for Students

Tim great progress which has been made in Chemical Industry since the publication of the second edition of this work in 1905 has necessitated entire rewriting of many sections of the book, with elimination of much obsolete matter and the introduction of much new material. While the general plan of the former editions has been retained, in treating the various subjects use has been made of the modern concepts and theories of chemistry wherever these promised to make clearer the phenomena involved. Extended math ematical or theoretical discussion of the processes has been avoided as beyond the scope of the book. It is not supposed that the expert will find this book a guide in his own particular field, for its purpose is to impart to students and others not already familiar with the processes of chemical industry, some knowledge of the plant and methods employed in the more important manufacturing Operations based upon chemical changes.
