USING SALT TO GET MORE POTASH NOW Before the annual meeting of theSociety of Chemical Industry the Man-aging Director of the Britisli PotashCompany, Ltd., which is owned to a largeextent by the Government, described the September, 1918.

Experiments were conducted in theblast furnaces of the North LincolnshireIron Company. The problems remaining to be solv-ed, reports the Trade Commissioner,are how to increase the potash contentof these dusts by driving off the maxi-mum amount of the potash contained inthe raw materials fed into the furnace,and how to extract refined potash com-pounds from the dusts. After a longseries of experiments, it has been foundthat the addition of a small quantity ofsalt to the charge of the blast furnacelargely increased the amount of potashgiven off, without producing any dele-terious effect upon the quality of thepig-iron produced. It is now estimated that by the useof salt, and by the installation of gas-cleaning plants, potassium chloride canbe produced in quantity to meet all therequirements of the United Kingdom, ofa purity above any yet reached in Ger-many, and, at a pri
