The dried product is therefore richer inmagnesia than the original material. Thus 100 oforiginal oxychloride, of which the analysis is givenabove under Preparation of Oxychloride of Magne-sium, is reduced by drying to ;;: 36, formed of :— THE JOURNAL OF TUT SOCIETY OF CHEMICAL rNDUSTRY. 71.

Say that 6 6 per cent of the CI put in work havebeen lost in this operation. This loss will hardlyexceed 8 per cent. We shall have occasion to speakof this further on. Fifth Operations-Decomposition of Oxychlorideof Magnesium The first idea which occurs to ones mind for carry-ing out this operation is to employ an apparatusa utlagous to a retort, heated externally, into whichthe dried oxychloride should be charged and air passedthrough. But this method of working was imprac-ticable for several reasons, the chief one beingthat bothma
