Practical Electro-Chemistry (Classic Reprint)

Preface rHE intention of this book is to give an account of those electro-chemical processes which have been already or are likely to be turned to industrial use. Historical matter has generally been omitted for the sake of conciseness. For the same reason, comparison of electro-chemical processes with chemical or metallurgical methods accomplishing the same results has been confined to the indication of their relative advantages, a knowledge of the older processes being assumed. The relation between the output of a given process and the energy necessary for that output has been dealt with somewhat fully, and in like manner the practical advantages to be gained by the use of electrochemical methods in certain cases have been indicated. I venture to hope that the book may be found useful by some of those interested in one of the youngest and most promising of modern industries. B. B. London,
