The Alberger process is a method of producing salt. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alberger process"

Alkylation is the transfer of an alkyl group from one molecule to another. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alkylation"

Basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS, Linz-Donawitz-Verfahren, LD-converter) is a method of converting molten iron to steel. The process is an improvement over the historically important Bessemer process. The LD-converter is named after the Austrian placenames Linz and Donawitz (a district of Leoben). ...more on Wikipedia about "Basic oxygen steelmaking"

The Bayer process is the principal industrial means of producing alumina, itself important in the Hall-Héroult process for producing aluminum. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bayer process"

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventor, Henry Bessemer, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. The process is a development of a practice known in China as early as the 200s. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation through air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bessemer process"

The Betterton-Kroll process is an industrial process for removing bismuth from lead. ...more on Wikipedia about "Betterton-Kroll process"

The Betts electrolytic process is an industrial process for separating lead and bismuth. ...more on Wikipedia about "Betts electrolytic process"

The Bridgeman technique is a method of growing single crystal ingots or boules. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bridgeman technique"

The Burton process is a thermal cracking process invented by William M. Burton; the oil industry first used it to double the production of gasoline in 1913. This thermal cracking process was patented on January 7 1913 (Patent No. 1,049,667). In 1937 it was superseded by catalytic cracking. ...more on Wikipedia about "Burton process"

Case hardening or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of steel whilst leaving the interior unchanged. The idea behind case hardening is to have two different types of steel in the same item. This allows a relatively soft, tough core of a component to be combined with a hard (but potentially brittle) surface. Case hardening improves the wear resistance of machine parts without affecting the tough interior of the parts. Many processes are available for surface hardening. ...more on Wikipedia about "Case hardening"

The cementation process is a obsolete technique for making steel. It was developed in the 18th century from the crucible process. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cementation process"

The chloralkali process is a redox reaction, an electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (salt): ...more on Wikipedia about "Chloralkali process"

Chrome plating is a finishing treatment utilizing the electrolytic deposition of chromium. The most common form of chrome plating is the thin, decorative bright chrome, which is typically a 10  µm layer over an underlying nickel plate. It imparts a mirror-like finish to items such as metal furniture frames and automotive trim. Thicker deposits, up to 1000 µm, are called hard chrome and are used in industrial equipment to reduce friction and wear and to restore the dimensions of equipment that has experienced wear. ...more on Wikipedia about "Chrome plating"

A coating is a covering that is applied to an object to protect it or change its appearance. They may be applied as liquids, gases or solids. ...more on Wikipedia about "Coating"

The contact process is the current method of producing sulfuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes. Vanadium(V) oxide is the catalyst employed. ...more on Wikipedia about "Contact process"

The focus of this article is on the process of copper extraction from chalcopyrite ore into pure metal. Processes for other minerals are mentioned. ...more on Wikipedia about "Copper extraction"

In petroleum geology and chemistry, cracking is the process whereby complex organic molecules (e.g. kerogens or heavy hydrocarbons) are converted to simpler molecules (e.g. light hydrocarbons) by the breaking of carbon-carbon bonds in the precursors. The rate of cracking and the end products are strongly dependent on the temperature and presence of any catalysts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cracking (chemistry)"

Crucible steel describes a number of different techniques for making steel alloy by slowly heating and cooling iron and carbon (typically in the form of charcoal) in a crucible. ...more on Wikipedia about "Crucible steel"

The crystal bar process (or Iodide process) was discovered by Anton Eduard van Arkel and Jan Hedrik de Boer in 1925. This process was the first industrial process for the commercial production of pure ductile metallic zirconium. ...more on Wikipedia about "Crystal bar process"

Cumene process is an industrial process of producing phenol (C6H5-OH) and acetone (CH3-CO-CH3) from benzene (C6H6) and propene (C3H6). The term stems from isopropyl benzene or cumene (C6H5-CH(CH3)2), the intermediate material during the process. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cumene process"

The Czochralski process is a method of crystal growth used to obtain single crystals of semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide), metals (e.g. palladium, platinum, silver, gold) and salts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Czochralski process" Go crack a http://www.shortopedia.com!

In destructive testing, tests are carried out to the specimen’s failure. These tests are generally much easier to carry out, yield more information, and are easier to interpret than nondestructive testing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Destructive testing"

The Deville process was the first industrial process used to produce alumina from bauxite. ...more on Wikipedia about "Deville process"

The Dow process is the electrolytic method of bromine extraction from brine, and was Herbert Henry Dow's second revolutionary process for generating bromine commercially. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dow process"

Dye penetrant inspection, also known as liquid penetrant inspection, is a type of nondestructive testing used generally in the detection of flaws in non- ferrous alloys. It can also be used for the inspection of ferrous materials where magnetic-particle inspection is difficult to apply. In some cases it can be used on non-metallic materials. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dye penetrant inspection"
