Extract

In a previous paper I have stated: “The monosulphide sulphur, therefore, appears to be essentially calcium hydroxyhydrosulphide CaHSOH with very minute quantities of calcium hydrosulphide CaH2S2. The solution of lime sulphur then appears to consist of calcium hydroxy-hydrosulphide, calcium thiosulphate, calcium sulphate with sulphur held in solution.”

I have now to amend this by adding “calcium disulphide” to the above.

The method of analysis is now as follows: Preparation of sample. 50 c.c. of the concentrated lime sulphur to be diluted to 500 c.c. with water.
