The Industrial Revolution
• What?• When?• Where?• Why?• Who?
![Page 3: From the Industrial Revolution to Green Chemistry](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815d03550346895dcb02ac/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What?
• A period during which major fundamental and sustained technological and social changes occurred.
• These changes were associated with manufacturing, agriculture, economic policies, social structures, commerce and transportation.
![Page 4: From the Industrial Revolution to Green Chemistry](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815d03550346895dcb02ac/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
When?
• A 100-year period starting in 1760 in Britain.
• This date is somewhat arbitrary as nearly two centuries of gradual changes preceded 1760.
• In subsequent years, the consequences of the Industrial Revolution spread to Europe and North America, and then around the world.

Where?
• Ironbridge in Shropshire England (about 1.5 - 2 hours from Birmingham) is called the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
• Currently there are ten museums at Ironbridge Gorge that focus on the period in Britain called the Industrial Revolution.

Why? And Why in Great Britain?• Numerous and complicated causes many of
which are still debated.• Political organizations and traditions, natural and
financial resources, stable government, colonies, naval strength, decline of epidemics, increase in lifespan, established markets, work ethic, technological innovations and scientific discoveries, geography, entrepreneurial ethic and receptiveness to change are among the proposed causes of the Industrial Revolution.

![Page 12: From the Industrial Revolution to Green Chemistry](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815d03550346895dcb02ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Big Picture
• From an agrarian economy to industrialization.
• The big three: textiles, iron and the steam engine.
• What happened in Birmingham• Industrialization in the 21st century
![Page 13: From the Industrial Revolution to Green Chemistry](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815d03550346895dcb02ac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Agrarian Economy
• 1700: 80% of England’s population earned its livelihood from the land.
• 1800: This had dropped to 40% even as the population doubled.

Increased Production of Food and Raw Material
• Enclosure movement (increase in private land ownership).
• Crop rotation (more crops for food and animals).
• Improvements in– farm implements (wood to metal)– Irrigation - Insect control– Livestock breeding– New crops - Farming methods
![Page 15: From the Industrial Revolution to Green Chemistry](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815d03550346895dcb02ac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consequences of Increased Crop Yield
• Increased food production allowed the migration from farm to industrial centers thus sustaining a growing manufacturing economy.
• Increased agricultural raw materials allowed growth of industrials producing consumer products (with the development of new machinery; e.g. textiles).
• Substantial growth in economy, trade, industrial base.

Textiles
• Pre-IR: Textile production was a cottage industry with sheep raised on small farms and artisans spinning and weaving wool into cloth.
• Transition to textile manufacturing involved task specialization as machines (flying shuttle, roller spinner, jenny) were invented, improved and distributed.
• IR: Textile factories became larger, multiplied and spread.

Coal Mining
• Pre-IR: Mining coal was a labor intensive, non-mechanized and very dangerous occupation.
• Introduction of carts on rails, improved ventilation and lighting, and mechanization of coal transport (↑ and →) led to increased coal production. It was still a very hazardous job.
• Iron production depended on coal.
![Page 18: From the Industrial Revolution to Green Chemistry](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815d03550346895dcb02ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Iron Mining
• Iron was the major raw material for making tools, structures and machinery.
• Pre-IR: Iron + charcoal (from wood) low grade, impure and brittle material
• IR: Iron + coke (from coal) superior pig iron product

Transportation• Pre-IR: Roads, canals and rivers were primary
transportation routes.• IR: Railroads (1000 miles of RR tracks in 1836
and 7000 miles in 1852) and expansion of existing canal system were designed to move raw materials and products, thus contributing to economic growth and increases in population, especially in towns.

Steam Engine• Pre-IR: There was limited use of steam engines.• IR: The improvement of the steam engine in
1778 by James Watt “was undoubtedly the greatest technical achievement of the Industrial Revolution”.
• Watt increased engine efficiency four-fold. As a result, industrialization accelerated and spread to all aspects of human activity.
