Separation of Uric Acid and Phenol. Pelkan seems to have obtained unsatisfactory results in theseparation of uric acid and phenol by precipitation with zinc 114 Determination of Phenols in Blood chloride and sodium carbonate. The present \\Titer has experi-enced no such difficulty. Not only was complete separationobtained, but no traces of zinc could be found in the filtrate. To 25 cc. of solutions containing both uric acid and phenol wereadded 1 cc. of per cent zinc chloride and, after mixing, 1 cc. of10 per sodium carbonate.
