Abstract
A method is given in which the solution of difficultly fusible refractory material is obtained by subjecting the finely pulverized material to two fusions, the first in sodium carbonate, followed by one in potassium bisulphate. The melts are dissolved in water and after adding sulphuric acid are evaporated to dense fumes. Care is taken to remove any calcium sulphate that may be formed. The final residue is treated with hydrofluoric and sulphuric acids. The alumina is determined according to the method described by Blum as given by Hillebrand especial care being used in heating the final precipitate to constant weight. A temperature of about 1150°C is necessary. Two precipitations are required in the determination of lime. The excess of ammonium salts are removed prior to the precipitation of the magnesia, by adding an excess of nitric acid, evaporating to dryness and heating, which expels the ammonium chloride according to the reaction NH4Cl + HNO3= HCI + 2H2O + N2O.
