Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quantitative Analysis Since the publication of the first edition of this book numerous changes have been made in the standardized methods of analysis of certain industrial materials, as adopted by official committees of various scientific societies. In the present edition the discussions and detailed procedure have been modified to conform to the revised methods, wherever possible. This statement applies to the analysis of coal, water, fertilizers, dairy products and insecticides. A number of other analytical methods are now described, of which may be mentioned the gravimetric determination of the chloride, sulphate and phosphate radicals and the indirect determination of the halogens; the perchlorate method for potassium; the determination of chromium and vanadium in steel and the glyoxime method for nickel in steel; the analysis of brass and of soft bearing metals; and the volumetric determination of zinc. A part of the discussion of metallography and treatment of steel has been rewritten and several new sections have been added to this portion of the book. New photomicrographs have been substituted for the old ones and about fifteen new figures have been used at various points throughout the book, the latter being the work of the author's students in Chemical Engineering, to whom grateful acknowledgment is due. Finally, a new system of chapter division has been introduced in order to give greater emphasis to the sections dealing with industrial analysis. In the process of making these changes a considerable portion of the book has been rewritten and the discussions have been amplified, in the interest of added clearness. It is hoped that these changes will serve to enhance the usefulness of the book as a college text and that the favor with which the first edition was so generously received will not be undeserved by the present edition.
