Abstract
THIS volume completes Prof. Weiser's treatise on inorganic colloid chemistry, and it is in every way a very satisfactory account of the subject with which it deals. The five parts treat of the colloid sulphates, halides, sulphides, ferro- and ferri-cyanides, and silicates. The treatment is essentially experimental, although the theories concerned receive adequate treatment. Full literature references are supplied. Among other general topics which come under review are the stability of sols and the mechanism of electrolyte coagulation, adsorption on ion lattices, adsorption indicators, the permeability of membranes, and the phenomena of thixotropy and rheopexy. Technical aspects receive careful attention. The amount of information contained in the book is very large, yet the author has been able to produce a very readable text.
