ARSENIC AND ITS PREPARATIONS. Arsenic is by far the most important of the metallic poisons, whether measured by the extent to which it is diffused, its many applications in medicine and the arts, or its use as a poison. Arsenic and its compounds enter largely into the composition of the earth's crust, as metallic arsenic, arsenious acid, the two sulphides, realgar and orpiment, or as a constituent of several ores of iron, copper, silver, tin, zinc, nickel, and cobalt. Most of the arsenious acid of commerce is prepared from an arsenical sulphide of iron, known as mispickel, or arsenical pyrites; the remainder from the roasting of ores, chiefly of copper and cobalt. Arsenic hus accordingly been found in several soils, and in plants grown in them, and in some mineral waters and running streams. Arseuious acid is largely diffused through the air surrounding some smelting furnaces, and arsenic acid and the alkaline arsenates are used as mordants, in some dye-works to such an extent as to poison the streams into which they discharge their refuse; and even to taint the water-supply of towns. As the iron pyrites, or mundic, largely used in the manufacture of oil of vitriol, contains arsenic, much of the sulphuric acid of commerce is tainted with it; and this being, in its turn, used in the manufacture of nitric, hydrochloric, and other volatile acids, of sulphate ol soda, as a preliminary to the making of the carbonate, and for other purposes, many liquid and solid substances in common use in medicine and the arts are impregnated with arsenic. The two metals, zinc and copper, the two acids, the...
