Excerpt from Distillation Principles and Processes
The volume on "Fractional Distillation" was written in the hope that it would be of assistance to chemists in overcoming the difficulties so frequently met with in the laboratory, not only in the actual carrying out of the fractional distillation of a complex mixture but also in the interpretation of the results obtained.
The last copy was sold shortly after the declaration of war, and the question then arose whether a revised second edition of the book in its original form should be published. It was thought, however, by the Publishers that it would be wiser to extend the scope of the work so as to include distillation on the large scale as carried out in the manufacture of important products.
That this change in the character of the book was really advisable became more and more evident as the war increased in intensity and magnitude, because of the immense importance of such materials as acetone, toluene, petrol, glycerine, and so on, the production of which involved processes of distillation on an enormous scale, and for some of which new sources or methods of formation had to be sought and investigated.
It was obvious that the larger book could only be of real value if the sections on manufacturing processes were written by chemists thoroughly conversant with the various subjects dealt with, and it was eventually decided that I should edit the book if I could secure the co-operation of experts in the different branches of manufacture.
In these preliminary negotiations I received most valuable assistance from my friends, Professor F. E. Francis, D.Sc, Ph.D., and Professor W. E. Adeney, D.Sc, and my sincere thanks are especially due to Professor Francis for the great interest he has taken in the production of the book.
Unfortunately the heavy pressure of work entailed on all chemists by the war caused serious delay in commencing the book, and progress has necessarily been slow.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and complex world of distillation, a process as old as alchemy itself. The author, a prominent chemist of his time, presents a comprehensive exploration of the principles and practices of separating liquids based on their boiling points. From the basic apparatus used in laboratories to the large-scale industrial processes, this work investigates the theoretical underpinnings of distillation, including the behavior of vapor pressures and the formation of mixtures with constant boiling points. The author meticulously analyzes the intricacies of fractional distillation, exploring the various techniques and challenges involved in achieving precise separations. Through detailed explanations and numerous illustrations, the book sheds light on the historical development of distillation techniques, while also offering practical guidance for conducting successful distillations in both laboratory and industrial settings. The book's significance lies in its ability to demystify the process of distillation, making it accessible to chemists and other scientists seeking to refine their understanding of this fundamental chemical operation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
