Industrial Electrometallurgy

Industrial Electrometallurgy: Including Electrolytic And Electrothermal Processes is a book written by Eric Keightley Rideal and originally published in 1919. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of electrometallurgy, which is the branch of metallurgy that deals with the production of metals and alloys using electrical and chemical processes.The book covers a wide range of topics related to electrometallurgy, including the principles of electrochemistry, the design and operation of electrolytic cells, the production of metals by electrolysis, and the use of electric furnaces in metallurgical processes. It also includes detailed descriptions of specific processes, such as the production of aluminum and copper by electrolysis, and the smelting of iron and steel in electric furnaces.Throughout the book, Rideal provides detailed explanations of the underlying scientific principles and practical considerations involved in electrometallurgical processes. He also includes numerous diagrams, illustrations, and photographs to help readers understand the complex processes involved in producing metals and alloys using electrical and chemical methods.Overall, Industrial Electrometallurgy: Including Electrolytic And Electrothermal Processes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science and technology of metallurgy, particularly those involved in the production of metals and alloys using electrical and chemical processes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
