Electro-Metallurgy (Classic Reprint)

The authors aim in this book has been to give a brief and clear account of the industrial developments of electrometallurgy, in language that can be understood by those whose acquaintance with either chemical or electrical science may be but slight. No attempt therefore has been made to discuss the theoretical side of the subject. The meanings of the few technical terms and expressions that have almost necessarily crept into the book will be found in a glossary on p. 299, where they can easily be referred to by readers. The facts and figures recorded in the book relate to the position of the electro-metallurgical industries at the end of 1906, unless otherwise stated. The developments in some of these industries are, however, extremely rapid, and allowance must be made for the difference in date when comparing the figures given with those published more recently. The patent literature of electro-metallurgy is unusually extensive and voluminous, and no useful purpose would have been served by digging deep into it. The author has therefore confined himself to descriptions of apparatus and processes which have once received practical trial upon an industrial scale, or which are now in commercial use.
