About this book
Chlorination of Water appears among the works of Joseph Race. The front matter describes the book as discussing the various aspects and methods of chlorination with a view to stimulating research work. The text says the final refutation of the spontaneous generation theory was given by the monumental researches of Pasteur, who in 1862 proved the possibility of preparing sterile culture media.
The text names the discovery by Koch, in 1876, that a specific bacterium, B. anthracis, was the cause of a specific disease in cattle, anthrax or splenic fever. A technical passage says that in the constant head method, the head is maintained by a bronze valve connected to a float made of glass or tinned copper. A test procedure says to mix 1 c.cm. of the tolidine reagent with 100 c.cms. of the sample in a Nessler tube, and that small amounts of free chlorine give a yellow and larger amounts an orange colour.
