Industrial Electrometallurgy

Industrial Electrometallurgy: Including Electrolytic And Electrothermal Processes is a book written by Eric Keightley Rideal and published in 1919. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of electrometallurgy, which is the branch of metallurgy that deals with the production of metals using electrical energy.The book covers a wide range of topics related to electrometallurgy, including the principles of electrolysis, electroplating, electrorefining, electroforming, and electrowinning. It also discusses the use of electric furnaces for the production of metals and alloys, as well as the principles of arc welding and electroslag welding.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of electrometallurgy. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject and discusses the basic principles of electricity and magnetism. The subsequent chapters cover the various processes involved in electrometallurgy, including electroplating, electrorefining, and electrowinning. The book also includes several chapters on the use of electric furnaces for the production of metals and alloys.The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of electrometallurgy. It is also accompanied by numerous illustrations and diagrams, which help to clarify the concepts discussed in the text.Overall, Industrial Electrometallurgy: Including Electrolytic And Electrothermal Processes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the production of metals using electrical energy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of electrometallurgy, making it an essential reference for students and professionals alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
