The Engineering Development of Electrochemistry and Electrometallurgy

Some notes on the engineering development of electrochemical and electrometallurgical industries are given in this paper, with particular attention to progress of these industries in France. A discussion of the general problem of supplying electric power to these industries is followed by data on the development of certain processes which significantly illustrate ``direct uses'' of electricity in industrial processes. This paper by a distinguished French engineer contains considerable information not readily available in the United States.
