Because of the distinctive colors of the precipitates formed, various cations have been proposed for the qualitative detection of the ferrocyanide ion. Since interference frequently occurs, some care is usually necessary. As an illustration, the following condensed procedure serves for the detection of the ferrocyanide ion in the presence of ferricyanide
The Metallurgical pilot concentration plant is completely equipped with gravity and flotation units sufficient to provide for practically any flowsheet employing these methods of concentration. All equipment for the pilot concentration plant is set for continuous
The conditions essential to accurate gravimetric analysis have been given. As a rule such estimations come under one of four classes:
These are the most usual and accurate methods of gravimetric analysis. The element sought is precipitated and weighed generally as a compound, definite in composition.
Here the element sought is volatile or forms a volatile
WASHING THE PRECIPITATE: A precipitate may be washed directly on the filter, or it may be washed partly by decantation and partly on the filter. If by decantation, the precipitate is allowed to settle, and the supernatant liquid is poured on the filter. Wash water is added to the precipitate, and after
Material of Vessels for Solution
The student must consider the effect of the solvent used on the vessel. In most cases the solvent used is an acid or mixture of acids, and for such solvents glass and porcelain are generally used. Platinum may be used, provided no chlorine or other attacking agent be present. (See notes regarding care and use of platinum
After solution, certain minor operations may or may not be necessary, but as a rule the next essential operation is that of precipitation. In his qualitative work the student has already come across many cases of precipitation, and he will find that many of the methods there used are again applied for quantitative purposes.
When precipitation is complete the precipitate must be separated from the solution. The means of bringing about this separation will be described under this head. Under the next head (Washing) the completeness of this separation will be considered.
In quantitative gravimetric analysis the two materials generally used are paper and asbestos, and the
In the course of work completed, the problem so far met with has been the determination of the various elements (or compounds) present in a substance. In an ore, for instance, there may be present silica, iron, copper, arsenic, and sulphur, and it is the province of qualitative analysis to determine the presence or absence of these and other elements.
In this place it will be sufficient to describe the usual chemical balance, designed to carry in each pan a load up to 100 gms. This balance can be obtained at a reasonable figure, and sensitive to 1/10 of a milligram (0.0001 gm.). In the section on Assaying the student will find two other forms—Pulp Scales and the Assay Balance— mentioned. The
