Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the development of a novel oil determination method for grading cottonseed using dielectric measurements. The method is positioned as an alternative to the time-consuming official chemical method, making it ideal for the rapid assessment of oil content in small batches of cottonseed, such as those sold by farmers. The author investigates various candidate methods for oil assay, including direct evaporation, salting-out, refractometry, and infra-red absorption. However, these methods prove impractical or unsuitable for small-scale grading. The book provides a detailed examination of the dielectric measurement method, encompassing the selection of an appropriate solvent, sample preparation techniques, and the design of a robust test cell. The method's accuracy is validated against the official chemical method, demonstrating a high correlation and a low standard error of difference. The author discusses the advantages of the dielectric method, including its simplicity, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Compared to the official chemical method that requires hours to complete, the dielectric method can determine oil content in as little as 10 minutes. This book offers a valuable contribution to the field of cottonseed grading, providing a practical and efficient method for assessing oil content that can be easily implemented at cotton gins. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
