The Art Of Soap Making A Practical Handbook Of The Manufacture Of Hard And Soft Soaps Toilet Soaps Etc Including Many New Processes And PDF Download

Excerpt from The Art of Soap-Making: A Practical Handbook of the Manufacture of Hard and Soft Soaps, Toilet Soaps, Etc;, Including Many New Processes, and a Chapter on the Recovery of Glycerine From Waste Leys In compiling this took, the Author has endeavoured to fill a void in English technical literature. While almost every art is represented by treatises or handbooks of a more or less practical character, Soap-making, so far as the Author is aware, has not until the present time been furnished with a special book of reference for the convenience of its numerous followers. In the United States, however, several elaborate treatises of foreign origin have appeared, and to these the author has been greatly indebted for much valuable information, especially as regards the Continental methods of making ordinary soaps and toilet soaps, given by Dussauce, Cristiani, Ott, and Kurten. An important feature in the present volume is the chapter on the Recovery of Glycerine from Waste Leys, in which many processes for recovering this valuable product are given. Although it would not have been possible nor even desirable to include every known process of soap-making, a great number of processes in an abridged form are given, which cannot fail to be useful to the manufacturer.
