Excerpt from The Production and Treatment of Vegetable Oils: Including Chapters on the Refining of Oils, the Hydrogenation of Oils, the Generation of Hydrogen, Soap Making, the Recovery and Refining of Glycerine, and the Splitting of Oils
Everything connected with the recovery and treatment of vegetable Oils has received a great stimulus from the conditions brought about by the war. The industry is spreading or showing signs of spreading in many directions, and great as its importance in this country has been in the past, it is safe to prophesy that in the immediate future it will be greater still. It is hoped that this volume will do something towards assisting those interested or likely to become interested in the industry to understand the construction and working of the principal machines and plant which it depends upon. Sufficient information, it is believed, is given regarding the chemical and commercial aspects of the matter to make the book, although written from the engineer''s standpoint, a more or less general treatise on the vegetable oil industry.
The chapters which follow originally appeared as a series of articles in The Engineer. In planning this series it was at one time hoped to include in it sections devoted to certain aspects of the industrial employment of vegetable oils, notably on the employment of such oils in the manufacture of linoleum and margarine. While there is much of engineering interest in both these branches of industry it was found that a considerable degree of secrecy was preserved regarding the machinery employed in the former, while the machinery for the latter came almost, if not quite, exclusively from abroad, notably from Holland. These reasons and the exigencies of space, compelled. A considerable restriction in the account of the industrial employment of vegetable oils.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of vegetable oil production and treatment, offering a unique perspective from the engineer's standpoint. Written in the early 20th century, the book captures a time when the vegetable oil industry was experiencing a surge in importance, driven by wartime demands and growing global trade. The author examines the key machinery and processes involved in extracting oil from various sources, including seeds like linseed and cottonseed, as well as nuts like coconuts and palm kernels. The book provides detailed descriptions of the machinery used in each stage of the production process, from the initial preparation of the raw materials to the final refining of the extracted oil. The author also explores the chemical and commercial aspects of the industry, highlighting the relative advantages and disadvantages of different methods of extraction, such as pressure crushing and solvent extraction. Through its detailed analysis of the machinery and processes involved in the production of vegetable oils, this book offers valuable insights into the industrial landscape of the early 20th century and the challenges and opportunities faced by those involved in this essential industry.
