[19] Carbon is readily burned off completely, without loss of chlorides, in a gas-heated muffle furnace adjusted to a dull red heat.
[20] An electric oven suitable for this work, which is readily adjusted to 160 degs. C., has been made for Mr. Low and the chairman, by the Apparatus and Specialty Company, Lansing, Mich. Its size is 9-1/2 × 10 × 16 inches, and capacity 8 Petrie dishes. It gives a strong draft at constant temperature.
[21] A precipitate at this point is an indication of the presence of iron or alumina, and high results will be obtained unless a correction is made as described below.
