Aluminous

In highly acid and aluminous soils, special methods usually are needed to establish leucaena, but they may be worth the trouble. ❋ Unknown (1985)

The original process may be summed up under the following heads: Printing or padding with an aluminous mordant, which is fixed and cleaned in the usual manner; dyeing in alizarin for reds with addition of calcium acetate; padding in sulpholeic acid and drying; steaming and soaping. ❋ Various (N/A)

Gamboge has been employed as a yellow lake, precipitated upon an aluminous base; but a better way of preparing it is to form a paste of the colour in water, and mix it with lemon yellow, with which pigment being diffused it goes readily into oil or varnish. ❋ George Field (N/A)

There may be employed with the aluminous base, either the arseniate, the borate, or the phosphate of cobalt; but the latter in preference, as it produces the purest colour. ❋ George Field (N/A)

According to Bouvier, a colour similar to that of bistre, and rivalling asphaltum in transparency, is produced by partially charring a moderately dark Prussian blue; neither one too intense, which gives a heavy and opaque brownish-red, nor one too aluminous and bright, which yields a feeble and yellowish tint. ❋ George Field (N/A)

The plants should be laid down in rows of five or six inches distant from each other, in a soil moderately damp, of an aluminous or clayey nature, and free to a great extent of the more soluble alkalies, potash and soda, as these, by absorption, may destroy the coloring matter of the plant, and so diminish its value as ❋ P.

-- N.B. Do not use clay for your hearth bed unless you can get a highly aluminous clay, and can give it full time to dry before the forge fire is lit. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

A light and pleasing blue, with a greenish-grey cast by day, it possesses little depth or richness, and is far excelled in beauty by a good aluminous cobalt. ❋ George Field (N/A)

When dry on the paper, it resists the action of water, yet it will give way at once to that action, when it has been used and dried on marble or ivory, a fact which proves that the alummed paper forms a strong combination with the ink; possibly a compound of the latter on an aluminous base, might even be employed in oil. ❋ George Field (N/A)

Although not to be ranked with ultramarine, the stannic and aluminous blues may be described as durable, or at least as durable rather than semi-stable. ❋ George Field (N/A)

-- The soil best suiting the sugar cane is aluminous rather than the contrary, tenacious without being heavy, readily allowing excessive moisture to drain away, yet not light. ❋ P. L. Simmonds (N/A)

PRUSSIAN BROWN is an iron oxide, containing more or less alumina, and prepared by calcining an aluminous Prussian blue, or treating an aluminous ferrocyanide of peroxide of iron with an alkali. ❋ George Field (N/A)

There may be added to the aluminous mordant a little salt of tin to raise the tone. ❋ Various (N/A)

It is a species of lake, having a considerable proportion of aluminous base, to which its paler tint is due. ❋ George Field (N/A)

They are divisible into three classes -- the stannic cerulian blue, the aluminous cobalt blues, and the siliceous smalts. ❋ George Field (N/A)

The material most prized for the purpose of pipe-making is the beautiful red pipe-stone of the Coteau des Prairies, which is an indurated aluminous stone, highly colored with red oxide of iron. ❋ E. R. Billings (N/A)

In others, again, are found considerable quantities of soft powdery iron oxide or "gossan," and compounds such as limonite, aluminous clay, etc., which, under the action of the crushing mill become finely divided and float off in water as "slimes," carrying with them atoms of gold, often microscopically small. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

As at present commonly understood, carmine is that preparation of cochineal which contains the most colouring matter and the least aluminous base. ❋ George Field (N/A)
