THE first operation in the ammonia-soda process is thetreatment of ammoniacal brine with carbonic acid. Thecarbonatiug apparatus according to this invention isshown in Fig. 1. It consists of an annular cylinder,having within the annulus numerous shelves p serratedat their edges, which project from the sides and nearly. be passed through their walls, and by this means thecylinders can be made of a large diameter. A specialfeature of the process is the complete conversion of thehydrochloric acid into chlorine. Impure hydrochloricacid, which is unlit to be employed directly in the Deaconprocess, is quite suitable for this process.—S. H. Improvements in obtaining Sulphide of Zinc from Solu-tions. .1. II.

IT is intended to obtain pure zinc sulphide from the solu-tions which arc produced iii the manufacture of copperi,\ thewel process, and other metallurgical the solution contains any metal which in the presenceof free acid is precipitated b\ sulphuretted hydrogen,the solution is treated with this gas until these metalsare precipitated, and the said gas is slightly in free acid is then nearly neutralised by passing thesol ui ion through a filter-bed of limestone.
