1922 Industrial Chemistry Chemical Engineering Recovery of Volatile Solvents This is a 188 page, 6 1/4” x 9 1/4”, hardcover book titled The Recovery of Volatile Solvents. The book was written by Clark Shove Robinson assistant professor of chemical engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology and former chemical engineer at E. B. Badger and Sons Co. The book was copyrighted and published by The Chemical Catalog Company in 1922. This is a First Edition. As stated in the preface, the recovery of volatile solvents made possible by the application of chemical engineering to industry was a very recent activity in 1922. Prior to that time, industries making use of appreciable amounts of solvents were limited in number and size and the increasing cost of solvents and their increasing scarcity was only then making it necessary for industries to attempt their recovery. It was also then recent that a method of applicable recovery was being used in the recovery of gasolene from natural gas. Although there was much useful information in technical literature, this was the first book dealing exclusively with the subject. This book was intended to be useful to engineers in connection with improvements in the design of recovery apparatus and in improved applications of old principles. The book provides a background in the special types of chemical engineering principles used in solvent recovery including illustrative examples, discusses factors entering into the design of solvent recovery equipment, and gives descriptions of the apparatus being use. As there were already several other good books available on the subjects of the evaporation of the solvent from the material in which it has been used, and the subsequent fractional distillation of the recovered solvent to separate it from the absorbing liquid or other substrate, such information is limited in this book. Chapter titles and subtitles are: Gases and Vapors – The Gas Laws ; The Effect of Temperature on Vapors ; The Effect of Pressure on Vapors ; Deviations from Gas Laws ; Mixture of Vapors.
