This precipitate is redi olved in hydrocl loric acid, the solution is treated with hydrogen sulphide, and the filtered liquid, after expulsion of the H2S, is fractionally precipitated with ammonium carbonate, till the solution of the resulting precipitate in hydrochloric acid no longer gives any indication of the presence of gallium when examined by the spectroscope, The precipitates are collected and di olved in sulphuric acid, and cautiously evaporated till the free sulphuric acid is expelled; the residue when cold is digested with water till it is di olved, the nearly neutral solution is boiled, the basic gallium sulphate is precipitated and filtered while hot, and gâll-Ing, pr. par., a. & s.
