Separation of Nickel Oxide una 90.
6aH Oride.-The author proposes to give
process for the separation OF the two
metals, derived from two known methods,
and permitting the exact determination of
the two oxides, and thc'prcparation of the
two metals In a state of purity. The two
fundamental processes are that of Pisani,
who uses canstic potassa in presence of an
ammoniacal liquid, in which are dissolved
the two metals with exclusion of air. The
nickel oxide is preclpitatcd alone in bulk,
but always carries down with it more or
less of cobalt oxide. The second method Is
that of Terrell, who prccipitates cobalt In
an acid solution in the state Of rosco. .cobal-
tic hydrochlorate. The cobalt oxide Ia
peroxidizcd by means of pcrmanganatc,
We suppose that the two bodies, cobalt and
nickel, have been obtained by known
methods, either as pure oxides or pure sui
phides, free from all foreign matter. The
mixed oxides or sulphides are dissolved Ia
an aqua regia containing large proportion
OF hydrochlorlc acid. The solution ls large
~ diluted with water and saturated with
ammonia In excess. Permanganate Is then
added until the solution remains rose color
ed for some time. Pure potassa IS then
added, when the nickel Is precipltatcd as
hydroxide, carrying with it manganese
oxide, derived from the permanganate.
The precipitatc Is washed by decantation
and filtered, redissolvcd in hydrochlorlc
acid, and treated again with ammonia, per-
mapganate, and caustlc potassa. The wSsh-
Ing waters which contain the cobalt arc
collected, saturated with acetic acid, and
precipltated 1y sulphure:cd hydrogen. The
mixture Of nickel and manganese oxides ia
redissolved in hyrochlorie acid, and the
solution saturated with ammonia. Tho
solution Is exposed to the air for some time,
and the manganese oxide is by degrees en-
tirely precipitated. 1t is filtered OIL, the
tiltrate Is saturated with acetic acid, and
the nickel thrown down by means of sui
phureted hydrogen. The process may be
employed on large scale for obtaining
nickel free from cobalt.

their food is excellent, and helps provide
material for shcll-making. Keep the
houses clean.

plants by the cut. worm may be avoided by
