Abstract
II.
THE BESSEMER PROCESS (CONTINUED) IN the first part of this paper* I described the facts of the Bessemer process, and now proceed to a theoretical examination of these. In order to do this at all satisfactorily, it is necessary to have, at the outset, a clear idea of the composition of the raw materials,—the pig-iron and the spiegeleisen. I insist the more urgently upon this, because the descriptions or definitions of cast-iron or pig-iron usually given in our chemical text-books are by no means satisfactory, and are frequently erroneous.
