Abstract
RECENT work at the Dominion Laboratory on the decomposition and analysis of refractory minerals has led to the belief that the lower the temperature of decomposition using the common fluxes the more soluble are the products in water or acids. The time for complete decomposition at the correct temperature for the flux appeared to be only a few minutes or even less.
