[nom the London Mining Journal.l e'Ths Manufacture of Afferili.—:-Dince the repeal of the water. the preparation of soda alka li has become an extensive arid important- branch of manufacture. In the form of eryitallised soda, this is much used for washing, and other domes , tie purposes; and, in other states, it is used for manufacturing soap and glass, and for bleaching. To decompose salt, sulphurous acid, with an ad dition of • portion of nitrous gee and water, or steam, in large leaden chambers, where the gists condense into liquid sulphuric aMd, or oil of-vitriol. Salt is then acted upon by a dire proportion of this acid, in a reverberatory furnace ;• sulphate of soda forms, and mnriatie acid is given off.. This. is ex tremely volatile, and difficult to condense; in con sequence, some escapes into the atmosphere, causing cocsiderable nuisance and damage around alkali works, notwithstanding innumerable inge nious contrivances for preventing it. Sulphate of soda is .again'deeamposed enotbei furnace, by' small coal and carbonate of line; as chalk or lime stone.. The coal abstracts the oxygen from the sulphate of soda r; sulphuret of sodium forma; the mass then fuses; when 'the At haste mutually exchange their corabinations--lime becoming a aulphuret of calcium; the sodium, a sob-carbonate of sada. A mass of rough alkali, or black asb; is thus obtained,'composed of soluble srab.earbanate of soda; and insoluble anlplonet of calcium, which are separated by last ration with water. • .Dy the present improper mode of effecting this, the sul phoret of calcium is fliaVied to pass. part a soluble hydrosalphiret of lime; which-renders the elkiline . solution' very impure, requiting to be purified before it is fit for use. , Tbe' refuse, when tamed oat, becomes very' offensive by beating, noxious galas being evolved. Some important this manufacture are abouxto.be proposed: its emittiMiou - wittt !melting copper another branch of manufacture which has hitherto I been sanded with - much nuisance and,damap. ('Smelling Copper Ores."--The most sbuo dent mai of Copper are sulpbamte.. These are first calcined, sulpharoxs acidic formed, and, in Setters% is *Bowed to recipe into the atmosphere. Iron is etways meant in them met; and' it becomes partially' oxidised by caleination. .In the second operstion;ts general mixture of ems is melted, the protoeuiphinet of iron acting se • flux. By some entertain 'process, oxygen and sulphur pass off; the 'iron absorbs the .sulphur from .the: copper. which 'settles to the bottom; the other ingredients form slag, which is skimmed. off with a rake.—. This is a very •awkward, operation... 4 the work men dips tot) deep; be draws off copper; if he does not go deep enhugh, he leaves slag.

I made an attempt to apply this principle to prOduce ammonia in inf. ficient quantities to neutralize all the muriatieacid which we produeid; but was tinsucceasful. 1 was not at that time a perfect mastyi,of the theory upon which the formation . of ammonia is based. I have since had great experience in the treatment of metallic *Optic:trots, the action of steam upon ignited - carbon, and the effect of beat end combus tion generally. 1 have determined by results, tained in such 'review to leaveno room, for doubt, that, when a sulphuret and carbon aro acted upon by steam, at a temperature high enough to ignite the latter—nay above 1000° Pa4.--tbe oxygen unite into carbonic oxide, the .hydrogen and sul• . phur' into — aulphnretted hydrogen: The gimlet' passing off at ernes - into a'cold atmosphere. the fore mer absorbaoxygen, and forms carbonic acid-the latter absorbs nitrogen ; a sulpharet of ammonia is first formed, which is again decomposed by the carboniC acid ; carbonate of ammonia forms, and sulphur is deposited. *5 00 10 00 20 00 itl 00 +3OO 00 800 300 1313 tar Palpated new Application of Ammonia. —While I had it in contemplation ter pruritic° tnu riates of ammonia in such large quantities, I eet on foot inquiries to determine to what new uses this salt could be applied. ' I,ascertained that if sold at a cheap rate—that is, under £2O Per ton, it would supply a great desideratum for washing sheep and wool, taking the oil out of woollen clothes, cleansing all greasy articles:a furs, skins, and bides, applied in this way:' The muriale of ammonia to be mined with a sufficient proportion of hear, and confined in a close amuse having a pipe leading into water. A link heat lipped will drive pure ammonia into the weer, and. thus a It quor of ammonia, of any requisde etrength, could be readily produced for sU the abJve purposes.— At the timid now refer to ,guano had not been imported into this country. I -As the active agent in artificial manures, the consumption of muriate .of ammonia may be said to be unlimited. My ides of using this salt as a fertiliser of land is, to allow some cheap: abundant green crop to remain upon the land , at the end of autumn ; to he then ploughed in with lime ; and the first dry weather in spring to sprinkle rnuriate of ammonia, over it. The land would then be charged with all the ale 'merits of the purest staple or farmyard manure. ar Proposed Improvements in Smelling Cop. per.—Tbe fact cannot be disputed, that pure met allic iron has a stronger attraction for the major ity of 'the bodies with • which copper is naturally , associated in the different ores, then copper itself has; therefore tq procure copper by a single fusion in a state of greater purity than it is now obtained after seven or eight operations, it is only necessary to mil with the ore a sufficient proportion of gran ulated iron to take up the sulphur or other matter, in combination with the copper present 1 and far- ther by an improved arrangement of the furnace,. more complete separation of the copper and slag may be obtained, while the latter is kept flowing off spontaneously. Pure iron in a granulated form may he prepared cheaply in various wove. The smelting of copper would thus he much siteplifled, and conduCted without causing arty nuisance or damage. LT - Manufacture of Sulphate of Ammonia.— la this mode of manufacturing, a large quantity of sulphuret of iron would he produced in the slag! which could easily be granulated while hat... By proper treatment, this can he made to yield ammo nia and sulphur. An improved mode of Convert ing sulphur into sulphuric acid, without using nine or leaden chambers. has been matured. Am ami& and sulphuric acid in lapor, drawn by a dilTuaion of steam into a condensing flue, or chain• tier, will yield a solution of sulphate of ammonia. [?'Proposed Improecount in . the 'Manufac ture of Alkali.—lt is proposed to decompose salt in en open furnace by solution of sulphate of am monia, instead of sulphuric acid; sulphate of soda will be obtained is at present; murists of ammo nia will sublime, which, being easily condensed. may be obtained as a solution,, and crystallised. The manufacture of alkali will thus be simplified also, and damage prevented. lakivaling the rough alkali, an improved plan has been matured, by the adoption of which the sulphurat of calcium will be preserved throughout. , being dried quickly at a high beat, and kept dry, will te var cable ati iimanitra, mire 'particularly for certain `rope. :A farther nuisance will thus be avoided. This improvement in Issivation, with a:small ad dition of carbonate of ammonia to the liquor boil ing down, and an improved mode of evaporation,• will produce soda alkali, in a sista or creater puri ty than it bas hitherto been, which will lead to an extension of consumption. I—V" Proposed ifmangenzents fur Working nut the above Improrenienis.—The various rut jeCts touched upon in the above remarks; 'would prove too multifarious and complicated far ;he considers. tion of parties, to carry them out altogether in a single establishment;. such is not my object: By a proper division, the whole will be,rendered pie and practicable. Tu smelt copper, the smelt gr.!, must eitherpreparetheir own granulated iron, or have it dyne for them. - The view ftirnace is ax. ceedingly Its'irrangemetisel the only novelty ; therefore; requiring 'any nicety whatever, will be the granulating of. the slag. The treat. meat of granulated copper slag, to produce sul phate of ammonia, will forma new branch of man ufacture, requiring new establishments and fresh people teembark in them.. I - would. recommend fur,ther, that the decomposition of salt should form a separate business, which could be advantageous ly conducted by partieitingagesi in salt works The salt of muriate of ammonia would be a new and separate branch of business. instead of pur. chasing salt, the alkali manufac turers would pur chase sulphate of soda. Their operatio n s would be much simplified; while they could have a new article, sulptiuret of calcium, the' preparation and storage of which would occupy their spare space. In addition to these; I must observe That a (viand. ty of iron will remain in the residue after the pre. paiation of sulphate of ammonia, capable of being reduced. The manufacture of iron, and its treat ment to develop the several properties requisite for the various use. to Which it is to be applied, con stitute altogether a subject of inch magnitude and importance, that I shall defer Its censideratie t fur ; • future communication ; in the mean time my at- . tention will be directed to the arrangement of abundance of data, which has been accumulating for several years. g 'Nail Making.—This branch of trade is 'Rely soon to receive s strong- impetus by the operations of .the British and Foreign Patent ..Neil Company, who are about to commence their work..
