{"product_id":"sulfur-gerald-kutney-9781895198676","title":"Sulfur: History, Technology, Applications and Industry","description":"\u003cp\u003eSulfur is devoted to the methods of production and applications as they intertwined during different stages of industrial and technological developments. Commercial sulfuric acid production from the early 16th century until today is reviewed, spanning the Ancient and Renaissance periods, the Industrial Age (to which sulfur was vitally important), and the Sulfur War of 1840. The book introduces \"the Sulfur Age\" and the processes of this period -- such as the Nordhausen, Bell and Leblanc methods --, then goes on to review native sulfur production in Sicily, once a major supplier to the world. The 'Frasch method' is also covered in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoving to present day, the book presents \"recovered\" sulfur -- derived from sour gas and oil -- which constitutes 90% of today's elemental sulfur supply, and looks to Canada, a powerhouse supplier of Recovered Sulfur. An entire chapter is devoted to the modern-day sulfur entrepreneur, with a profile of various investors (from the reluctant to the private and institutional), and evaluates the benefits of adopting new and revolutionary technologies. Finally, the book forecasts the sulfur industry's future and potential supply sources, such as worldwide oil sands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Kutney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1895198674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781895198676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chemtec Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Gerald Kutney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965863936255,"sku":"9781895198676","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_940ffdc9-8498-4695-aba5-fadb0e1a8012.jpg?v=1767285365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sulfur-gerald-kutney-9781895198676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
