Trattato di Chimica Inorganica generale e applicata all Industria

Abstract

WHEN the first edition of this work appeared in 1905 its many excellent and novel features were commended in the full review which was published in NATURE of February 29 of that year. That these qualities were widely appreciated is shown by the fact that a second edition was called for within a year, and a third edition is now being issued. The present edition contains a very large amount of new matter, above 200 pages having been added to the text, fifty-six of which belong to the general introductory section, and deal with such subjects as mass-action, equilibrium, dissociation, and the phase rule. That the revision of the special section has kept pace with the march of modern industrial development is shown by the very thorough alterations which have been made in the text, owing to the introduction of new processes, for example, under such headings as the manu facture of liquid carbon dioxide, steel, cements, super phosphates, the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, &c.
