“…This may be prevented by using hydrazine sulphate with sodium bromide as the reducing agent, and so simultaneously reducing nitrates, etc., to nitrogen . 36 Minute quantities of arsenic may be quantitatively separated from germanium by treating the solution with a large excess of hydrofluoric acid prior to precipitation with hydrogen sulphide. Fluorogermanic acid is formed and is not precipitated by hydrogen sulphide.3' A quantitative estimation of manganese has been based on its precipitation as manganous.…”
