Extract

1. When salts or minerals containing phosphoric acid are ignited with ammonium fluoride as in the ordinary process of analysis of silicates, considerable loss of the phosphoric acid may occur. It is probable that the phosphorus is volatilised in the form of a phosphorus fluoride.

2. The loss is least in the case of salts containing an alkali metal. It is less in the case of disodium hydrogen phosphate than in that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and is greatest in the case of phosphates of the alkali earth metals, such as calcium phosphate or apatite.
