The Chemistry of Drying Oils

Abstract

CHEMICAL industry has become so highly specialised that at the present day it is practically impossible for one person to write from first-hand knowledge a trustworthy text completely covering even one industry. It is only by a series of monographs continually being brought up-to-date and written by experts with direct knowledge of particular processes that detailed information of real value can be secured. Under the editorship of Dr. Morrell we have an example of such a series of monographs for the oil and colour industry of which the volume under notice forms a part.

The Chemistry of Drying Oils.

By Dr. R. S. Morrell H. R. Wood. (Oil and Colour Chemistry Monographs.) Pp. 224. (London: Ernest Benn, Ltd., 1925.) 21s. net.
