Method as extracted

  1. Grind according to the source passage: Part II. tioned under arsenic. ‘The presence of manganese or iron is known by their not being volatilized by a red heat. ‘Antimony is obtained from its ores by gradually detonating in a large crucible four parts of sulphuretted antimony, three of crude tartar, and one and a half of dry nitrate of potass, re- duced to a fine powder, and intimately mixed. The detonated mass is then to be fused, and poured into a heated mould, ei with a little fat, in which itis allowed to consphiditel t is then turned out, and the scoriz are separated from the antimony, which will weigh about one-fourth part of the sul- phuret employed. ‘The scoriz are a mixture of sulphuret of potass and of antimony, and may be preserved for other pur-_ oses. ‘ Another method of obtaining antimony, is by melting three parts of sulphuretted antimony with one of iron.
