By-products From Wool Washing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781174843402)

"By-products From Wool Washing" (1916) examines the recovery and utilization of materials extracted during the wool scouring process. Focusing primarily on wool grease, also known as wool fat or lanolin, the book details various methods for extracting and refining this valuable by-product.

Butterman explores the chemical properties of wool grease, its composition, and its potential applications in industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and lubrication. He also discusses the economic benefits of reclaiming by-products that would otherwise be wasted, highlighting the role of industrial chemistry in maximizing resource efficiency within the textile industry.

This work provides a detailed look at early 20th-century practices in wool processing and chemical engineering, making it a valuable resource for historians of science and technology, as well as those interested in sustainable industrial practices.
