Now largely forgotten, Henry Enfield Roscoe was one of the most prominent chemists and educational reformers in Victorian Britain. His contributions include transforming Owens College into Victoria University, now the University of Manchester, campaigning for the reform of technical education, serving as the Liberal MP for South Manchester, and cofounding the Lister Institute of Preventative Medicine. In this detailed biography, authors Morris and Reed provide a timely and original contribution to the history of nineteenth-century British science and its relation to education, industry, and government policy, highlighting Roscoe's significant legacy as one of the leading scientists of his generation.
Accompanied by an introductory overview of the history of polymer science, this book contains biographical sketches of 12 pioneers, from Marcellin Berthollet and John Wesley Hyatt to Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta. It also includes time charts before each chapter that summarise significant events.
T. E. Thorpe's book, 'The Right Honourable Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe P.C., D.C.L., F.R.S', offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man, who devoted his life to science and civic action. Based on an obituary prepared by the Councils of the Royal and Chemical Societies, this book is a tribute to Henry Enfield Roscoe's distinguished career as a chemist and his contribution to the promotion of science. Through his research on vanadium and photochemistry, he paved the way for future advancements in the field. The book also sheds light on his role in the creation of Oxo, a popular food product. This biography is a fitting homage to a man whose life was marked by his generosity and commitment to making a positive impact on society.
Vanadium: Extraction, Manufacturing and Applications offers systematic coverage of the state-of-the-art in research and development of vanadium. Five chapters cover the basic background of vanadium, including extraction, applications, and the development of vanadium in industry and manufacturing, with a focus on industrial Panzhihua in China, which has one of the largest reserves of vanadium in the world. Based on the author's 30+ years of experience in vanadium-based materials, including in industrial development, this book provides a solution for understanding the nature, sourcing, manufacture, and uses of vanadium in high-tech industry. Vanadium is critical to high-tech industry, and is used as a catalyst and as a functional material. It has applications including in high-stress alloys, batteries and supercapacitors, and catalysts. Research on vanadium has accelerated rapidly in scope and depth in recent years. - Covers the different vanadium extraction processes - Describes the configuration of industry relating to vanadium, focusing on products and processes - Details vanadium applications in technology and in relation to particular product categories - Considers the case of vanadium resource shortages, and the industry response - Provides the necessary background to the theory, practice, technology, and manufacture of vanadium in contemporary industry
