Distillation Principles And Processes (1922)

Distillation Principles and Processes is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of distillation, written by Sydney Young and originally published in 1922. The book covers the fundamental principles of distillation, including vaporization, condensation, and the separation of liquids and gases. It also includes detailed discussions of the various types of distillation equipment, including pot stills, column stills, and continuous stills. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of distillation. The first section provides an overview of the history and development of distillation, as well as a discussion of the basic principles of the process. The second section focuses on the design and operation of distillation equipment, including the different types of stills and the various components that make up a distillation system. The third section of the book covers the practical aspects of distillation, including the preparation of the feedstock, the distillation process itself, and the recovery and purification of the distilled products. This section also includes information on the various factors that can affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the distillation process, such as temperature, pressure, and the composition of the feedstock. The final section of the book is devoted to the analysis and testing of distilled products, including methods for determining the purity and quality of the final product. The book also includes a glossary of distillation terms and a bibliography of additional resources for readers who wish to learn more about the subject. Overall, Distillation Principles and Processes is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of chemistry, chemical engineering, and distillation technology. It provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the principles and practices of distillation, as well as practical guidance for those who wish to design and operate distillation systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
