Page 88 - HNO3 and heat on a steam bath. Wh'en the solution is quiet, remove the cover and evaporate to dryness. Add 3 cc of HC1 and 5 cc of water to the residue and let it stand on the steam bath for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Dilute with 25 cc of hot water, filter into a small beaker, and wash the residue with warm water.

Nearly neutralize the filtrate with ammonia, have the solutions cool (not warmer than 30° C.), and add powdered carbonate of ammonia in about 2 grams excess to precipitate the aluminum. Let the precipitate settle, filter, and wash it with warm water. If the precipitate is bulky or is at all yellow, dissolve it in a little dilute H2SO4 and reprecipitate with carbonate of ammonia as described.

Page 20 - The most typical ore is a sandstone so impregnated with yellow carnotite that the color is decidedly noticeable and containing small kidneys of brown sandy clay. The kidneys constitute a considerable part of some of the ore; in many cases they are thinly scattered through the sandstone. It seems to be generally acepted among the operators that the kidneys are rich in vanadium.
