Publisher's Synopsis
"The Hydrogenation of Oils: Catalyzers and Catalysis and the Generation of Hydrogen" by Carleton Ellis explores the scientific and technical aspects of oil hydrogenation, a critical process in the early 20th century for producing solid fats and various industrial products.
This comprehensive volume delves into the catalysts used in hydrogenation, the mechanisms of catalysis, and methods for generating hydrogen. It offers detailed insights into the chemical reactions and engineering principles involved in transforming liquid oils into solid or semi-solid substances. This book is an invaluable resource for chemists, engineers, and historians of science interested in the technological advancements that shaped the modern food and chemical industries.
