After the distillation was completed, the condenser and connecting tubes were thoroughly rinsed into the receivers. The contents of the first two Erlenmeyer flasks were transferred t o a 500 cc. graduated flask. These flasks were rinsed several times, using the entire contents of the third flask which served as a trap. Then each flask was rinsed again with a small quantity of water. All of the rinsings were added t o the graduated flask. Before diluting t o the mark, the solution in the 500 cc. flask was warmed t o 2 0 ’ C. An aliquot of I O O cc. was placed in the titration bottle along with 6 cc. of chloroform and titrated with the potassium iodate solution as described above. If more than 25 or 26 cc. of the iodate solution were required, I O t o 15 cc. of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added before finishing the titration in order t o maintain the proper acidity. For comparison, aliquots were titrated with standard iodine solution according t o the official method of the A. 0. A. C. Using a potassium iodate solution of which I cc. = 0.003000 g.

The results of the test analyses by the iodate method given above show excellent agreement with those obtained by the official method. This accurate method is not only quicker, but is simpler than the iodine titration. The very definite and remarkably sharp end-point, the great stability of the potassium iodate solution, and t h e readiness with which i t can be prepared all recommend its use in place of the iodimetric procedure.

the only recorded deaths attributable t o its use have been due t o gross carelessness; the supply has been enormously augmented with increased demand and the quality improved, while the price per unit of cyanogen has been reduced t o a fraction of the former cost. At t h a t time, in addition t o its use for electroplating, potassium cyanide was employed widely, b u t in comparatively small quantities, in western gold mills for the purpose of removing stains from the amalgamated copper plates and facilitating the amalgamation of the gold. Samples of the commercial salt which I have tested usually contained from I O t o about 35 per cent of potassium cyanide, with a large proportion of potassium carbonate; i t was a highly deliquescent mixture, sold in tin cans holding from I t o 2 0 lbs. This material was derived from hoofs, horns, and the like, by first preparing and crystallizing potassium ferrocyanide, which was then heated, alone or with addition of potassium carbonate or carbon, the reduced iron, etc., being allowed t o settle through the fused mass. Sodium was present only in small quantities, and the deliquescence was due t o the potassium carbonate remaining or resulting from the decomposition of the cyanide. Sometimes sodium carbonate was used in fusing t h e ferrocyanide. With increasing demand other sources of nitrogen were drawn on. Ferrocyanide was obtained from coke and gas works; thiocyanates from the same source were desulfurized. Ferrocyanide was made t o give a larger yield b y reducing it with metallic sodium, or with a lead-sodium alloy, yielding a mixed cyanide, NaCN 2KCN. Beet-sugar waste (schlempe) was made t o yield a certain amount of cyanide. Synthetic methods have also been introduced; ammonia and metallic sodium forming sodamide (NaNHP) which, on heating with carbon, finally yields nearly pure sodium cyanide, etc. Formerly it was possible t o purchase fairly pure potassium cyanide for special purposes, prepared b y passing hydrocyanic acid into an alcoholic solution of potash; but pure sodium cyanide was very difficult t o get. Some years ago I obtained some sodium cyanide of German manufacture, labeled “C. P.” and “very highest purity,” but when trying t o prepare pure sodium zinc cyanide the first crystals t o separate proved t o be those of the potassium compound, the sample of guaranteed sodium cyanide containing nearly I per cent of potash and a considerable amount of carbonate. Commercial fused sodium cyanide of domestic origin, now obtainable for something like 28 cents per pound’ in lots of I O O lbs. or more, contains a mere trace of potash, and only 2 t o 4 per cent of all impurities combined. Originally, as just mentioned, commercial cyanide contained potassium as the positive radical with various impurities, such as carbonate, b u t little or no sodium or other base was usually t o be found. It was tested by titrating the cyanogen with standard silver nitrate, Liebig’s method, and analysts were accustomed, quite correctly, t o report i t in terms of K C N ; 40 parts of C N found being reported as IOO of KCN.

Since 1916, when this was written, war conditions have increased the price of cyanide materially. f

It may be recalled t h a t pure K C N contains, by calculation, 39.97 per cent of C N ; pure NaCN contains a much higher proportion, 53.07 per cent CN. For most purposes these are taken as 40 per cent and 53 per cent, respectively. As the potassium in commercial cyanide was gradually replaced by the lighter atom of sodium, other things remaining the same, the percentage of cyanogen was correspondingly increased. This allowed manufacturers t o make a salt containing a large proportion of impurity, which would still titrate 38 or 39 per cent cyanogelz and would be reported on the old basis as 97 or 98 per cent K C N . Pure sodium c y a n i d e , by the same system, would have been reported as 5300/40 or 132.8 per cent KCN. I n fact, sodium cyanide was sometimes deliberately diluted with inert material (carbonate, etc.) t o supply the demand for 98 per cent KCN. A t first there was a prejudice against t h e use of sodium cyanide in gold extraction, some early experiences indicating t h a t i t was less efficient, but laboratory tests indicate t h a t equivalent amounts of the cyanides of potassium, sodium, and calcium are equal in effect, and sodium cyanide is now almost exclusively used in the industry. I n fact, with the present shortage of potassium, owing t o war and other conditions, it would be impossible t o supply the potassium compound in anything like the required quantity. Until recently, however, cyanide has continued t o be sold and used on the basis of its K C N equivalent, even if no trace of potassium was present; thus commercial NaCN was commonly sold as “128 per cent KCN,” and most works using cyanide also continued t o make u p their solutions on the basis of KCN. For the past year cyanide has for t h e first time been generally sold on the more rational basis of its cyanogen, or its actual NaCN, content; thus the highest grade is now offered as either “sodium cyanide 96 t o 98 per cent” or “cyanogen 51 t o 5 2 per cent,” while the old, so-called “ 9 8 per cent K C N ” used t o carry about 39 per cent cyanogen. Four pounds of this sodium cyanide are therefore chemically equivalent, and actually equal in effect as a solvent, etc., t o about 5 lbs. of the old “potassium cyanide,” and there is a corresponding saving of about one-fifth in freight and storage. There is no reason why all users of cyanide should not accept the rational method of reporting the concentration of their solutions in terms of the sodium cyanide which they actually are using, and discard the absurd fiction of calling it-or translating it intopotassium cyanide, which causes unnecessary trouble in making u p solutions, etc. At various times commercial cyanide has been cast in thin slabs, and in large bricks weighing u p t o 50 lbs. or even more. Some produced in t h e wet way has been sold in granular form, and some briquetted. The most recent and convenient system is t o cast i t mechanically into uniform egg-shaped cakes weighing a n ounce each, so t h a t for many purposes, such as fumigation, no further weighing is necessary. It was formerly shipped in boxes with a n air-tight lining of sheet zinc, of I I Z or 224 lbs. each; tin-plate is

For titrating potassium cyanide i t has been the universal custom t o make u p a solution containing 1.303 per cent silver nitrate, so t h a t I cc. was equivalent t o I O mg. KCN. This was roughly 0.0767 N . For titrating commercial sodium cyanide i t is possible, by a convenient coincidence, t o use N / I O or N / 2 0 silver solution without necessitating any calculation. One cc. of N / I O silver solution is equivalent (by Liebig’s titration, or using the preferable Modification with potassium iodide indicator) t o 5 . 2 0 2 mg. of CN, or t o exactly 9.802 mg. of NaCN. Now 98 is almost the exact percentage of actual NaCN in t h e high-grade commercial material now in use. Therefore we can titrate solutions with N / I O silver nitrate and call I cc. equivalent t o I O mg. of the actual 98 per cent salt which has t o be weighed out in making up t h e solutions. For technical purposes i t is perhaps preferable t o use N / 2 o solution ( I cc. = 5 mg. commercial NaCN) as the end-point with iodide indicator is very delicate and the burette readings then also indicate “pounds per ton of solution” directly. For instance, taking a I O cc. sample: suppose 2 cc. of N / z o silver nitrate are consumed; this indicates I O mg. or 0.10 per cent of commercial sodium cyanide in solution, or 2 lbs. per ton of solution-the “ton” or “fluid ton” used in hydro-metallurgy being about 32 cu. ft., or the volume of 2 0 0 0 lbs. of water. When determining sodium and potassium in a mixed cyanide, chlorides and carbonates being t h e usual impurities, i t is often possible t o work by directly evaporating with hydrochloric acid, gently igniting and weighing the mixed chlorides remaining, and titrating chlorine in part of t h e residue. The following formula, based on 1914 Atomic Weights, gives the results in the most direct manner possible: If A = grams mixed chlorides, and B = total grams chlorine in mixed chlorides; then K in grams = 2.4286 A - 4.004 B, and Na in grams = 3.004 B - 1.4286 A = A -B - K. Not infrequently the class of cyanide can be determined simply by titrating cyanogen and alkalinity in a freshly prepared solution, using methyl orange as indicator. The determinations in the following table may be taken as typical. It may not be out of place to call attention t o the importance, when testing cyanides for the presence of alkaline sulfide, of preparing the solution a t the moment of making the test, or, what is better, of dissolving the solid cyanide in the reagent t o be applied. If the cyanide is dissolved in water and allowed t o stand even a few minutes, the sulfide content may be seriously diminished, and traces of sulfide may be easily overlooked. Three simple methods are available: Shaking with fine lead carbonate suspended in water; dissolving the solid cyanide in a solution of silver nitrate containing slightly less t h a n I mol. AgNOs for 2 equiv. C N ; or dissolving the solid cyanide in a little mercuric chloride solution; each of these

I n dilute solutions there is no apparent difference in the stability of sodium as compared with potassium cyanide; in each case decomposition is greatly increased by access of air and retarded by presence of free alkali. Two strong solutions were prepared, one containing approximately I O per cent of commercial sodium cyanide, t h e other 13 per cent of “straight” potassium cyanide.

The amount present is very small, rarely exceeding z per cent. A number of proximate analyses have been made from time t o time, but the majority have been made within the last I O years. Of the eight analyses given in Table I, all except the first have been reported since 1905. EXPERIMENTAL PART

Four different samples of desiccated skimmed milk were purchased on the market or obtained from users of milk powders. Sample I was made by the International Milk Products Company, Detroit, Michigan; Sample I1 by the Minnesota Dry Milk Company, Anoka, Minnesota; Sample I11 b y the International Milk Company, Plymouth, Michigan; and Sample IV by the California Central Creameries, San Francisco, California.
