CHAPTER II.
METHODS OF ASSAYING.--DRY GRAVIMETRIC METHODS.
The methods of assaying are best classed under two heads, Gravimetric
and Volumetric, in the former of which the final results are weighed,
whilst in the latter they are measured. A commoner and older division is
expressed in the terms much used in practice--wet assays and dry assays.
Wet assays include all those in which solvents, &c. (liquid at the
ordinary temperature), are mainly used; and dry assays, those in which
solid re-agents are almost exclusively employed. Dry assays form a
branch of gravimetric work, and we shall include under this head all
those assays requiring the help of a wind furnace. Wet assays, as
generally understood, would include not only those which we class as wet
gravimetric assays, but also all the volumetric processes.
~Gravimetric Methods~ aim at the separation of the substance from the
other matters present in the ore, so that it may be weighed; and,
therefore, they must yield the _whole_ of the substance in a pure state.
