The Platinum Metals

The Platinum Metals (1920) provides a detailed overview of platinum and related metals, focusing on their properties, extraction, and uses. This book by Arthur Douglas Lumb explores the chemical and physical characteristics of platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium, osmium, and ruthenium, offering insights into their industrial and scientific significance.

Readers will find comprehensive discussions on the methods of refining these metals, their alloys, and their applications in various fields such as jewelry, chemical catalysis, and electrical engineering. Lumb's work serves as a valuable resource for chemists, metallurgists, and anyone interested in the technical aspects of these precious metals.
