Fire Assaying: A Practical Treatise On The Fire Assaying Of Gold, Silver And Lead, Including Description Of The Appliances Used (1907) is a comprehensive guide to the process of fire assaying, which is a method used to determine the purity and quality of precious metals such as gold, silver, and lead. The book is written by Buskett and Evans Walker, two experts in the field of metallurgy and analytical chemistry. The book covers all aspects of fire assaying, including the history of the method, the equipment and tools required, and the steps involved in the process. It provides detailed instructions on how to prepare and weigh the samples, how to mix the fluxes and reagents, and how to perform the actual assay using a furnace or crucible. The book also includes information on the chemical reactions that occur during the assay, and how to interpret the results. It covers the different types of errors that can occur during the process and how to avoid them. Overall, Fire Assaying: A Practical Treatise On The Fire Assaying Of Gold, Silver And Lead, Including Description Of The Appliances Used (1907) is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the fire assaying of precious metals, from students and researchers to professionals in the mining and metallurgy industries. It provides a clear and concise guide to the process, and is written in a way that is easy to understand and follow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
