Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Chemical Technology The several Editions of Professor Rudolf Wagner's "Handbuch der Chemischen Technologie" bave succeeded each other so rapidly that no apology is needed in offering a translation to the public. There is little to be said as to the arrangement. Improvements in Technological processes that have appeared since the publication of the Eighth German Edition have been added during translation. Only when necessary have Foreign weights and measures been stated in English equivalents; where the point has been one of comparison, the weights have been left unaltered. The Metrical System has in some cases been of great service in avoiding the repetition of tiresome distinctions between English and Prussian grain weights, English and Bavarian foot measure, &c. The formula have been subjected to careful revision, and are molecular throughout. Indeed, every care has been taken to merit the confidence of the manufacturer and of the student. Under the head of Metallurgical Chemistry, the latest methods of preparing Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Copper Salts, Lead and Tin and their Salts, Bismuth, Zinc, Zinc Salts, Cadmium, Antimony, Arsenic, Mercury, Platinum, Silver, Gold, Man-ganates, Aluminum, and Magnesium, are described. The various applications of the Voltaic Current to Electro-Metallurgy follow under this division. The Preparation of Potash and Soda Salts, the Manufacture of Sulphuric Acid, and the Recovery of Sulphur from Soda-waste, of course occupy prominent places in the consideration of chemical manufactures. It is difficult to over-estimate the mercantile value of Mond's process, as well as the many new and important applications of Bisulphide of Carbon. The Manufacture of Soap will be found to include much detail. The Technology of Glass, Stoneware, Limes, and Mortars, will present much of interest to the builder and engineer.
