Abstract
IT is generally recognised that under high pressures many chemical reactions which take place only slowly under ordinary conditions may be greatly accelerated, and new reactions, hitherto considered impossible, may reach a considerable velocity. This opens up a very interesting and important field of study, and there is little doubt that there may result many important industrial developments and even the creation of new industries. Before, however, the chemist can adequately discharge his functions in connexion with this work, it will be necessary for the engineer to provide him with the special tools which will be required in connexion with it. For example, new means will have to be found for the development and control of pressures of a much higher order than has hitherto been used. New methods for the handling of solids, liquids, and gases will have to be devised; heat interchange under new conditions will have to be studied. In fact, the technique of high pressure work generally will have to be developed.
