DESCRIPTION:
This book describes the process for the production of phosphoric acid from phosphorite rock and its evolution over the last century."Professor Geoffrey W. Stevens, The University of Melbourne, Australia"A very good read indeed, I enjoyed the introduction from an historical perspective, as well as the later chapters that covered the technical complexities of the WPA and PWA industries. Phosphoric acid is the basic building block of many of the products we take for granted from fertilizers, food additives, for corrosion prevention, etc. Astley, Dr. "This book is an essential read for anybody associated with the phosphoric acid industry and important for those interested in the development of the process industries. An interesting primer on what it took and takes to succeed in the purified phosphoric acid business."Dr. Due to the clear outline, first-hand materials and concise summary, it is easy-to-read and well-inspired for multi-di
The rise and rationalization of the industrial phosphates industry have gone hand in hand with the development and maturation of technologies to purify phosphoric acid. Individual chapters are devoted to the key derivative products which are still undergoing active development, as well as to sustainability and how to approach the commissioning of these plants. In the 1960s and 70s, driven by the exponential sales growth of the detergent-builder sodium tripolyphosphate, chemical producers raced to develop processes that woul
Rodney B. An expert in the technical field of phosphoric acid purification and industrial phosphates, he has undertaken a wide range of assignments in this area; held maintenance, commissioning, development, and project engineering roles at Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) , London, UK; served as plant engineer of an ICI vinyl chloride plant; and held senior engineering positions at Albright & Wilson, London, UK . Gilmour is a chemical engineering and project management cons
Oustanding in it's depth and breadth This book definitely fills a need in the industry for an up to date (references up to 2013) description of all of the various technological approaches to purifying phosphoric acid. Well written, it enters into just enough depth for both the well versed and the novice.
