Works
Bell wrote many papers on chemistry and metallurgy. In his Iron Trade, he correctly predicted the outstripping of Britain by Germany in industrial production, unsuccessfully urging government action to avoid this. His major works include:
- The Chemical Phenomena of Iron Smelting: An Experimental and Practical Examination of the Circumstances Which Determine the Capacity of the Blast Furnace, the Temperature of the Air, and the Proper Condition of the Materials to Be Operated Upon (collection of papers published as a book, 435pp), Routledge, London, 1872.
- The Principles of the Manufacture of Iron and Steel, 1884.
- The Iron Trade of the United Kingdom Compared with that of the Other Chief Ironmaking Nations, Literary and Philosophical Society, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1875.
- Mr I Lowthian Bell and the Blair Direct Process. James M'Millin, 1875.
- On the manufacture of salt near Middlesbrough (with James Forrest). Institution of Civil Engineers, London, 1887.
- Memorandum as to the wear of rails, Ben Johnson, 1896.
- The Manufacture of Aluminium, The Technologist, July 1864.
- The Manufacture of Thallium, British Association, 1864.
