The Bactericidal and Oligodynamic Action of Silver and Copper in Hygiene, Medicine and Water Treatment Hardback, pp. 140. With CD-ROM. Price £65.00 (post-free in the UK). US$120.00 + $12.00 shipping. Click here for Table of ContentsBactericidal surfaces are increasingly demanded in hospital, medical, food-processing and beverage manufacturing settings, not least to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA, Clostridium difficile and, for water treatment, to repress Legionnaires’ disease. This book sets out the very ancient history of oligodynamics which predates the Christian era. The scientific background and bacteriological data are reviewed. Part 2 surveys the materials used to create such surfaces – paints, resins, powder coatings, glasses, electroplated surfaces and specially-created metals. Graphs and tables show the kinetics of bactericidal action and viricidal and fungicidal applications are also noted. 180 references are cited. The CD-ROM includes a fully-searchable abstract database, with a unique collection of some 500 patents relating to practical applications of the principle, from 1924 to the present. |

The World History of Galvanizing Written by an author with a lifetime's experience in the field, this lavishly illustrated book charts the history of the subject, from 14th century tinplate manufacture in Bavaria and Saxony, to the present time. It includes coating of iron and steel with tin and zinc by mechanical and molten metal methods (hot-dip galvanizing) and the beginnings of electrogalvanizing in the UK in1840 and subsequent developments. Appendices include a glossary of terms, a lucid exposition of the metallurgical basis of hot-dip galvanizing, and hundreds of references, both historical and technical. The perfect book for new entrants to the industry, both on the technical and non-technical side, this work provides the technical and historical background that all those involved in the industry should have. Equally, it would make an admirable gift to valued customers or staff. Learning is rarely such a pleasurable experience. |

NOW ! Electroplating of the Lesser-Known Precious
Metals - Rhodium, Ruthenium, Iridium, Rhenium, Osmium Click here for Table of Contents The electrodeposition and electroless deposition of five metals, all with extremely high melting point, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance, is described. With their market price lower, in many cases, than better-known platinum or palladium, these metals and their alloys could be seen to have unexploited potential for use in electrical contacts or relays, for thermal barrier coatings, non-tarnish finishes on silverware and as anode coatings. Although the main thrust of the book is a practical one, extensive details are given of the physical and chemical properties of the deposits. There is also consideration of the complexes from which these metals are deposited, noting how some such compexes can exist in several structural forms having very different behaviour in electrodeposition. The Revised Edition contains new chapters on: "Stripping of Precious Metal Coatings" (incl.gold); "Electropolishing of Precious Metals" (incl. gold); and "Electroless Deposition of Platinum & its Alloys" The author, with a lifetime's experience in the Metal Finishing industry, was latterly a Development Chemist with one of the world's largest Precious Metals companies. |

Rapid
Spot Testing of Metals & Alloys |
|
|
How does one identify or distinguish metals and alloys and deduce their composition on a semi-quantitative basis ? Especially where there is no laboratory equipped with high-cost instrumentation or when one is in the field. This new book brings together a host of both physical and chemical methods for tackling the problem. Density, colour, magnetic properties, flame tests and use of a grinding wheel to study the colour and form of the sparks emitted. Each test need not take longer than a minute or two. But also a whole range of chemical spot tests where use of simple acids or more complex organic reagents will identify species present or confirm the results of other tests. An entire chapter deals with electrography, a simple identification method which is not as widely known as it deserves to be. Flow-charts and logic schemes guide users through test sequences. Appendices describe the reagents used, list sources of further information and suppliers. Invaluable for anyone handling or dealing with metals of unknown composition and provenance, the results of a single test could more than pay for this book. |

Anodizing
and Coloring of Aluminium Alloys The Japanese are acknowledged as being among the world-leaders in colour-anodizing of aluminium. Dr Satoshi Kawai, a leading Japanese expert, shares his experience in the field with practical advice in operating and troubleshooting aluminium anodising and colouring plants and describes some of the latest applications of anodised aluminium in solar energy, data storage and other fields. |
