The determination of soluble lead in insulating wool by the British Solubility Test.
Preparation of Semple
Duplicate 1 gram samples were shaken for 1 hour in 1000 grams of 0.25$ (by weight) hydrochloric Acid. After permitting to settle for an additional hour* the mixtures were filtered and the filtrates analyzed for lead by the speotrographic method*
( The mixtures gave off a definite odor of hydrogen sulfide)
Sample
Grams used Mgs Pb found -
1 gms. I4..0
Sample #2
Grams used Mgs Pb found -
1 gns* 3*9
On the basis of 1% lead in the original wool, these figures indicate that I4.O/& of the lead is soluble in the 0.25/S acid.
