With electricity universally available, and with present day instruments and parts so low in cost, spectroscopic equipment should be in every school and laboratory. This book has been written to assist those who wish to analyze ores, minerals, alloys, and inorganic chemicals, or wish to teach others to do so. In the qualitative analysis of such materials, there is no instrument so rapid and accurate as the spectroscope, although the analyst must remain within its limits of operation. This is also true of the quantitative analysis of these materials. Although speed comes only after some experience, one may very soon acquire the necessary technique for accurate determinations. The author has attempted to point out some of the short cuts to quick spectroscopic success. Direct methods of burning samples are shown; the key lines of each element have been selected, and a new chart-table has been prepared which shows both the spacing of spectral lines and their wave-lengths. An increasing number of schools and universities have courses in spectroscopy, and many industrial plants use spectrographic equipment to speed up the solution of their special problems of analysis. The bulk and cost of spectroscopes tend to increase in geometric ratio with efficiency, and thus the price of a commercially built high-dispersion instrument is usually beyond the reach of the individual analyst. The parts necessary to make a powerful instrument are few and the essential construction is very simple. The writer believes that instructions for making effective instruments at costs so low as to be within the reach of all, will be appreciated. One section of the book has, therefore, been devoted to such instructions. Largely from his own experience, but also from the literature (see bibliography) a considerable amount of material has been arranged in what is hoped will be helpful form.

Preface - This single-volume compendium fulfills the demand for a compact version of the widely acclaimed Encyclopedia of Surfactants and contains over 12,000 entries. The surfactant products included have been compiled with. the cooperation of the major national and international surfactant manufacturers. The first section of this reference is a Trademark Dictionary that contains short entries for all tradename surfactants that appear in Volumes I-IV of the Encyclopedia plus all the new surfactant products that have become available since the publication of this set. Each tradename entry is followed by a number in brackets which refers to the manufacturer that is listed in Part III of this encyclopedia. What makes this reference unique and especially useful for anyone doing chemical research is the addition of the Chemical Component-to-Tradename Cross Reference section. This provides the user with the capability of finding tradename surfactant products that contain specific chemical compounds. For example, by locating alphabetically the chemical ammonium lauryl sulfate, the user is able to retrieve a list of all the tradename products that contain that chemical. The user can then refer back to the frrst section for detailed descriptions of the specific tradename products listed here. This section also includes the chemical compound synonyms for the surfactant components which are cross referenced in most cases to the alternate chemical names that contain the tradename product listings. Primary chemical component references are made to the CTFA (Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association) adopted names where possible. For many chemical entries the Chemical Abstract Service Registry Numbers (CAS) are given. This number ensures the unique identification of a chemical regardless of its multiplicity of synonyms. RD (Recognized Disclosure) reference numbers are included in some cases either in addition to the CAS number or because no CAS number has been assigned as yet. The third section presents the names and addresses of the manufacturers of all of the products included in this compendium with their associated tradenames.

Contents - Introduction - Substitute Requirements - Miscellaneous - List of Substitutes and Alternatives - Appendix - Preface - Historically, this book was started about 40 years ago. At that time, the cosmetic, drug and flavor industries were seeking substitutes for glycerin and ethyl alcohol-for economic reasons and to avoid the red tape connected with the buying, storage, use, and selling of alcohol and alcoholic products. Fair substitutes were developed for both of these products, but when the price of glycerin was stabilized at a reasonable figure, these substitutes were almost completely forgotten. Over a period of years, this writer has developed substitutes or alternatives for numerous products in diverse industrial fields. Thus, a file of such materials has been built up. To this has been added the suggestions of others and references from scientific and technical journals and texts. This book cannot be regarded as complete or encyclopediac. The subject matter is in a state of flux and is growing and changing continuously. It should be useful to many as a starting point. It should not be expected to give the final answer to a highly specialized need. It is the task of the specialist or expert to glean from it what may be applicable and to interpret, interpolate, or "imagineer" a solution to his specific problem. Condensation, rather than elaboration, has been the precept in assembling this information, in order to expedite the publication of this book. It is the concentrated essence of many years of experience of many chemists, engineers, and other technical workers.

Although many papers have been published describing methods for the inorganic analysis of petroleum no book has previously appeared devoted exclusively to this subject. The purpose of this work is to provide a laboratory handbook for industrial analysts of various degrees of professional training covering the determination of those elements commonly occurring in various types of petroleum products.The procedures represent, from the author's point of view, a reasonable compromise among the usual conflicting interests of speed, accuracy, and cost, and emphasize manufacturing rather than research applications.

Electronic Light Dimmers - Index Sound recording studios are often built like showcases, either to attract clientele or to provide a distinctive image for the industry. They are, thus, like people, in that no two of them are alike. Yet, all such structures have to have certain common acoustic elements if they are to function to the best artistic and economic advantages. The enclosures must be sufficiently quiet, exhibit proper reverberatory conditions (often required to be adjustable), be devoid of parallelisms between hard surfaces, have no sound-focusing concave surfaces, be free of vibrations from external and internal sources, etc. It is for the purpose of providing first design principles of sound recording studios that this book has been prepared, so that for any given size structure, satisfactory vocal and instrumental recording conditions can be established therein. All equations involving physical quantities are given both in the English and the MKS system of measurement. Also, when the description of existing studios includes linear dimensions, their metric equivalents follow in parenthesis, as is also done for such quantities as surface density (mass per unit area) and sound absorption.

A concise and handy guide to the numerous "recipes" for chemical solutions used in laboratories. In each chapter, preparations of one particular use, or related uses, are grouped alphabetically. Where appropriate, the use of the solutions are stated and cross reference made.
