Abstract
THIS little work is a volume of the well-known “Encyclopédie Scientifique des Aide-Memoire,” and is devoted mainly to the industrial applications of electrolysis other than those of which the object is the preparation of metals. The chapter dealing with the electrolysis of solutions of sodium and potassium chlorides, which gives a good account of the more important processes which have been proposed for the preparation of caustic alkalis, hypochlorites and chlorates, may be specially commended. The attempts which have been made to employ electrolysis in purifying and ageing alcoholic liquids, in tanning, and in purifying sugar, are described, as well as a number of minor applications of the electric current.
