Présentation de l'éditeur

The subject and aim of this book are clearly expressed in the title and therefore the author desires only to make a few remarks about the scope and arrangement of the book. The subject of Layout, Design and Construction of Chemical and Metallurgical Plants has been treated by the author thoroughly and completely. Actual plants and illustrations only were used in the make-up. After a general discussion of the problems met with and the conditions to be considered in the layout of a factory, the construction of a typical factory building is described, which in the succeeding chapters (spelter, etc.) is further supplemented. The travel of material from start to finish is clearly shown in the chapter on cement plants; the layout of factory railways and the handling of huge quantities of material in the chapter on iron and steel; the use of various appliances in an organic sequence is shown in the chapters on acids, alkali, purification of water, sampling, concentrating, cyaniding, silver refining, etc., while complete layouts are also illustrated in the chapters on copper-, coke-, fertilizerand peat-plants. The problem of proper location is carefully considered in the chapters on cement, iron and spelter, and the cost of production has not been lost sight of. It is to be noted that the book should be read as a whole, Le,, as one unit, as one work, for the reason that it was impossible to discuss ail the important points in every chapter. While in one chapter the building problem is treated in detail, it will be found that in other chapters other problems and conditions are especially considered. The book will be of value to chemical and metallurgical engineers, manufacturers and students. It will also be found useful as a text-book on the subject of chemical engineering, since it combines and surveys the details and special branches of this science. OsKAR Nagel,
