Industrial Electrometallurgy : Kessinger Publishing : 9781436881838 : 1436881838 : 29 Jun 2008 : Industrial Electrometallurgy: Including Electrolytic And Electrothermal Processes is a book written by Eric Keightley Rideal and originally published in 1919. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of electrometallurgy, which is the branch of metallurgy that deals with the production of metals and alloys using electrical and chemical processes.The book covers a wide range of topics related to electrometallurgy, including the principles of electrochemistry, the design and operation of electrolytic cells, the production of metals by electrolysis, and the use of electric furnaces in metallurgical processes. It also includes detailed descriptions of specific processes, such as the production of aluminum and copper by electrolysis, and the smelting of iron and steel in electric furnaces.Throughout the book, Rideal provides detailed explanations of the underlying scient
