Thisammoniacal liquor is placed in a retort with lime and heated ; theammonia is then evolved together with steam.^ In the arts, only asmall amount of ammonia is used in a free state—that is, in an aqueoussolution j the greater portion of it is converted into different saltshaving technical uses, especially sal-ammoniac, NH4CI, and ammoniumsulphate, (yH4)2S04. They are saline substances which are formed. Fig. 43.—Method of abstracting ammouia, on a large scale, from ammonia water obtained at gasworks by the drj- distillation of coal, or by the fermentation of urine, &c. This water is mixedwith lime and poured into the boiler C, and from thence into C and C consecutivelv. The lastboiler is heated ?directly oyer a fm-uace, and hence no ammonia remains in solution after theliquid has been boiled in it. The liquid is therefore then thro^^l away. The ammonia yapourand steam pass fi-om the boiler C, through the tube T, into the boiler C, and then into C , so thatthe solution in C becomes stronger than that in C, and still stronger in C. The boilers are tiu--uished with stirrers A, A, and A to preyeut the lime settling. From C the ammonia and steampass through the tube T into worm condensers surrounded with cold water, thence into theWoulfes bottle P, where the solation of ammonia is collected, and finally the still uncondensedammonia yapour is led into the
