Synopsis
Excerpt from Industrial Uses of Water
The chemical action of water in nature and the phenomena of hydrochemical activity observed in a large number of industrial Operations are so closely related that their study will help to determine the causes of difficulties with water, and assist at the same time to a discovery of the necessary remedies.
If water actually were what its chemical formula represents it to be, simply a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, the difficulties and troubles which arise when it is put to industrial uses could not arise. From this consideration it is evident that the distillation of water is in itself a preventive against the various accidents liable to arise from the use of ordinary water, in which is held in solution a variety of matters prejudicial to manufacturing processes.
These injurious in uences at work vary not only according to the nature of the process to which the water is applied, but also according to the quantity and nature of the matter held in solution in the water. Water that in nature produces the chemical pheno mena of corrosion and detrition not infrequently reproduces the like phenomena in the processes of manufacture, occasioning serious accidents, such as boiler explosions.
