The Manufacture of Intermediate Products for Dyes (Classic Reprint) by John Cannell Cain Pdf
Excerpt from The Manufacture of Intermediate Products for Dyes Nothing is more important in the present revival of the aniline dye industry in England and America than a knowledge of the literature dealing with the manufacture of intermediate products. The scope of most of the books on the subject to which one naturally turns is necessarily limited, and the authors must perforce content themselves with describing the chemistry of the processes concerned. It is, however, of prime importance to the would-be manufacturer to have, in a convenient form, detailed information as to the preparation of the materials he proposes to make, so that he may be sure that he will not spend time and money in rediscovering, perhaps, some process that may have been already elaborately described in an obscure book or periodical. The chemist, confronted with the task of compiling such information, immediately encounters difficulties. It is rarely that he has ready access to a good technical library, and even if that difficulty is overcome, and much time and labour are spent in the search, he will be chary of asserting that he has exhausted the whole of the literature on the subject of his investigation. It appeared to the author that a concise account of the literature dealing with the manufacture of intermediate products for dyes might therefore be of considerable use, and in this book he has endeavoured to present such an account in detail so as to render it unnecessary to refer to the original descriptions. It may perhaps be stated that he doubts whether any single library in England contains the whole of the literature consulted. As a guide to the selection of these materials the author has made considerable use of the "Dyestuff Census of the United States" (published in the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, 1916, 35, 1202), as well as of other information as to the dyes in general use, and believes that he has included all the more important intermediate products.
