Abstract
PURE zinc has been subjected to distillation in a high vacuum, and after three fractionations of the distillate the latter shows a lower density than the original zinc. The residue has been reduced by evaporation to one-twentieth of the original volume and shows an increased density. The method of separation is similar in principle to that of Brønsted and Hevesy for mercury.
