Pàgina 214 - Treatise on Chemical Analysis." New Edition. Enlarged, and to a great extent re-written, by HENRY M. NOAD, Ph. D., FRS With numerous Illustrations. Cr. 8vo, 12s. 6d. cloth. "We recommend this book to the careful perusal of every one ; it may be truly affirmed to be of universal interest, and we strongly recommend it to our readers as a guide, alike indispensable to the housewife as to the pharmaceutical practitioner.

Pàgina 39 - ... along with the steam. This ammonia must be contained in the form of an ammoniacal salt, because the neutral juice possesses the same characters as the solution of such a salt in water; it acquires, namely, an acid reaction during evaporation, in consequence of the neutral salt being converted by loss of ammonia into an acid salt. The free acid which is thus formed is a source of loss to the manufacturers of sugar from beet-root, by changing a part of the sugar into uncrystallizable grape sugar...
