Oxidisable

Recent research has demonstrated that the bacteria also act directly on the oxidisable parts of sulphide minerals. ❋ Unknown (1984)

Whenever possible, the nutrient media that are employed in any of the processes should contain some easily oxidisable substance, such as sodium formate (0.4 per cent.) or sodium sulphindigotate (0.1 per cent.), which will absorb all the available oxygen held in solution by the medium. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Cross and Bevan, a secondary decomposition took place, and his products, therefore, probably approximate to the derivatives of cellulose rather than to those of ligno-cellulose, the more oxidisable, non-cellulose, or lignone constituents having been decomposed. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Moist fulminates slowly decompose on contact with the oxidisable metals. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

It has projections that cause the powdered ore to be lifted above the flame, and, at a certain height, to fall through the flame and so be rapidly raised to the temperature required to effect the oxidation of the oxidisable minerals which it is desired to extract. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Unfortunately the results obtained by these do not invariably agree, the latter, which includes all oxidisable matter as glycerol, giving sometimes considerably higher results, and it has been suggested that a determination should be made by both methods, and the average of the two results considered the true value. ❋ H. A. Appleton (N/A)

On the other hand, with metals oxidisable with difficulty, such as silver, gold, and platinum, the reverse holds true; nearly the whole of the metals will go into the lead, and very little into the slag. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)

Its purpose is to remove easily oxidisable metals, such as lead and copper, from silver and gold, which are oxidisable with difficulty. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)

Easily oxidisable metals such as zinc, iron, antimony and tin, will go mainly into the slag, and, if the proportion of the slag is large, very little will go into the metal. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)

In making this test the student must remember that sulphur and, in fact, all oxidisable bodies similarly deflagrate, but it is only in the case of carbon compounds that carbonate of potash is formed. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)

When lead is the only easily oxidisable metal present, the stained portion of cupel is yellow when cold. ❋ Cornelius Beringer (1886)
