Synopsis

This book details a process called the Hunt and Douglas copper process. It is a chemical method of extracting copper from ores, which had several advantages over processes common in its time.

The book also contains information on the preparation and use of iron sponge, an important reagent in the Hunt and Douglas process. This book will be of interest to historians of industry, those interested in the development of chemistry, and anyone seeking to learn more about copper extraction.
