Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on nitrate recovery from Chilean caliche. The author, a chemical and metallurgical engineer with extensive expertise in the field, presents a critical examination of the widely used Shanks system, highlighting its limitations, and proposing an innovative new process that promises to revolutionize the industry. The author emphasizes the need for a more efï cient, less wasteful approach to nitrate extraction, given the dwindling availability of high -grade caliche deposits. The proposed new process focuses on optimizing extraction and evaporation stages, utilizing innovative heating methods, and incorporating continuous leaching techniques. The book delves into the fundamental principles of leaching, providing a solid theoretical foundation for the proposed process. It also discusses the importance of accurate accounting and sampling methods to ensure precise monitoring of nitrate losses and recoveries. The author's vision extends beyond the technical aspects of nitrate extraction, encompassing the broader implications for the Chilean economy and the global fertilizer market. The book argues that the efï cient recovery of nitrate from low -grade caliche and ripio dumps could signiï cantly extend the life of the Chilean nitrate industry, reduce production costs, and enhance the availability of affordable fertilizers for agricultural productivity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
