Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Chemical Engineering
One Of the commonest appliances used in the laboratory is the beaker, made of glass or porcelain, and it will be instructive to follow its evolution in working on a large scale.
Ordinary laboratory beakers are made in different sizes to hold any quantity from an Ounce or less to half a gallon or more. They are applied for different purposes: for storing or mixing liquors for dissolving solids in liquids, either in the cold or by heat; and in some cases, though not often, for boiling down, concentrating, an'd crystallising. For the latter purposes porcelain basins are preferred. As the uses of both beakers and basins are almost identical, we may, where convenient, include the evolution Of the basin in that of the beaker.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by Sir William Ramsay, a celebrated chemist, explores the art of transforming discoveries made within laboratory walls into processes that can be used on a large scale for commercial purposes. The author delineates the fundamental differences between laboratory and large-scale chemical work, highlighting the importance of considering a product's cost when determining the best method for its production. Taking the reader on a journey from the beaker, the laboratory's most fundamental tool, to its large-scale counterparts, each chapter details the evolution of laboratory-scale techniques into their industrial equivalents, examining how apparatus is adapted for tasks like mixing, heating, cooling, stirring, condensing, and drying. The author provides meticulously illustrated examples of the transition from small-scale concepts to large-scale applications, such as the transformation of a Liebig condenser into an industrial apparatus for continuous distillation. This book offers a practical understanding of the processes involved in transitioning from laboratory-scale chemistry to large-scale chemical engineering, making it an invaluable resource for aspiring and practicing chemical engineers alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330534052_0
