SALZEDE'S PROCESS. The baths used by M. Salzede are com- 

 posed as follows : 



1. Brass Bath. 



Dissolve the cyanide in 120 parts of water ; dissolve the 

 potassic carbonate, the zinc sulphate and the cupric chloride in 

 the remainder of the water, raising the temperature to about 

 60 C. When the solution is made, add the ammonic nitrate, 

 stirring the mixture. Let the liquor set for a few days, and 

 use it after decanting, when no more sediments are formed. 



2. Bronze Bath. 



Potassic cyanide .. .. .. .. 50 parts. 



Potassic carbonate 500 



Tin chloride 12 



Cupric chloride 15 



Water 5000 



This bath is used at a temperature not exceeding 36 C.
