| Sulphur and sulphur derivatives |
From introduction:
In addition to furnishing facts connected with the occurrence and production of several sulphur compounds and derivatives, it is hoped that the following pages will stimulate interest in certain problems of large-scale chemical manufacture. The basis of many processes is simple, but the actual apparatus and plant necessary for the manufacture of large quantities of chemical substances which modern conditions demand are somewhat intricate and complicated.
The author has endeavoured to describe those portions which are not so intricate that they cannot be appreciated by readers of limited technical knowledge. It has been considered permissible to introduce chemical equations in a few instances, to serve as an introduction to the nomenclature adopted in the science of chemistry. Complete knowledge of all that the equations imply is not necessary for the interpretation of the significant " jargon " of the chemist. We desire to thank various firms (see list of illustrations) for permission to make use of their blocks.
