Excerpt from Ceramics: A Manual for Chemists, Engineers and Manufacturers; Including a Collection of Tables and Problems for Laboratory and Plant Use, With a Dictionary of Useful Minerals
Ceramics includes all industries manufacturing silicate ware, and all kinds of clay products, glasses, enamels, cements, mortars, etc.
The ceramic industry is one of the oldest in the world, its beginning might almost be said to have been coincident with the birth of humanity, since it was the first industry in which our early ancestors engaged. To-day it ranks third in importance.
The author has attempted to write a condensed book on the silicate industries, including the methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis of silicates and chemical and ceramic calculations in use in every day practice in the silicate industry. As success in the manufacture of clay products depends largely upon the accuracy of the calculations, it is hoped that this book will be found valuable by chemists and ceramic engineers as an aid for the solution of the various mathematical problems that arise.
Beginners preparing for a career in ceramic engineering will find this book of service not only for its mathematics, but for its presentation of the fundamentals of ceramic laboratory procedure as combined with the elementary laws of chemistry.
