Rocks,” Hillebrand3 cites the use of ammonia and ammo-nium persulfate for the purpose ofprecipitating manga-nese together with iron and aluminium, and states that the possibility of partial precipitation of calcium as sulfate has not been investigated. The following tests were therefore made with the idea of simplifying the subsequent deter-minations of lime andmagnesia, both of which would be in error if manganese were left insolution. The elimination of manganese is especially desirable in the analysis of Portland cement and certain types of limestones, for most of the error falls on magnesia which is often one of the deciding factors in the acceptance of many lime-bearing materials. A good precipitation of alumina demands careful adjustment of the pH of the solution, and this Blum4 accomplished by the use of either methyl red or rosolic acid. In preliminary tests it was found that persulfate destroys methyl red quickly, but not rosolic acid. Rosolic acid was therefore adopted as indicator, and thefollowing modified Blum method was used in theanalysis of the Bureau of Standards Argillaceous Limestone No. 1, a sample of hydrated lime, and one of Portland cement, to which had been added measuredamounts of MnO in certain cases:
