The experimental work originated from an EPSRC ROPA grant to Professor RJ Young and AIR at UMIST. The theoretical support of Peter Olmsted, Wilson Poon and Tom Mcleish is most appreciated. The constructive critism of Frank Bates, John Blackwell, Gerhard Eder, Julia Hi ins, Ben Hsiao, Andrew Keller (now sadty deceased), Herve Marand, Paul Phillips, Gert Strobi and an anonymous referee are most appreciated.

Even earlier, in the seventeenth Century, John Bate recorded the use of antimony sulhde to produce a blue flame in his Book of Fireworks in 1635. The same author also used iron scale in some of his compositions to give rockets a more luminous tail. 

Bate (1963) in his John Keats points out that the poet is not speaking for himself, but is putting the sentiment into the silent testimony of the urn as if to a passing stranger. He notes that, in his correspondence of the previous...

The use of antimony sulfide, Sb2S3, designated in the early writings simply as antimony, along with the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, which were the standard ingredients of all pyrotechnic compositions, appears to have been introduced in the early part of the seventeenth century. John Bate s Book of Fireworks, 1635, containing information derived from the noted Professors, as Mr. Malthus, Mr. Norton, and the French Authour, Des Recreations Mathematiques, 2 mentions no mixtures which contain antimony. Typical of his mixtures are the following.

John Bate and Hanzelet Lorrain understood that the heavier rockets require compositions which burn more slowly. 

These devices are old they were described by John Bate and by Hanzelet Lorrain. English crackers are represented in the lower right-corner of Figure 23, reproduced from Lorrain s book of 1630. They are used in bombshells and, as Lorrain used them, in rockets, where they jump about in the air producing a series of flashes and explosions. Children shoot them on the ground like firecrackers where their movements suggest the behavior of grasshoppers.

Buffered (pH 7) 0.1 M ammonium acetate and 0.43 M acetic acid have also been adopted to extract soil plant-available PTMs (Burridge and Berrow, 1984 Ellis and Alloway, 1983 Haq etal, 1980 John etal, 1972 Merkel, 1996 Obrador et al, 2007 Sastre et al, 2004 Soon and Bates, 1982 Sterckeman et al, 1996). For both extractants, acetate complexation ability may contribute to increase the amounts of PTMs released (Adamo et al, 1996 McLaren and Crawford, 1973). Only for acetic acid, in addition to readily exchangeable, also specifically adsorbed and carbonate-bound metals are likely displaced by hydrogen ions (Berrow and Mitchell, 1980). Acetic acid could partially extract metals bound to organic matter (Paya-Perez et al, 1993) and associated with minerals (kaolinite, K-feldspars and ferrihdrite) (Whalley and Grant, 1994).

John Bate early in the seventeenth century understood the individual functions of the three components of black powder when he wrote The Saltpeter is the Soule, the Sulphur the Life, and the Coales the Body of it, The saltpeter supplies the oxygen for the combustion of the charcoal, but the sulfur is the life, for this inflammable element catches the first fire, communicates it throughout the mass, makes the powder quick, and gives it vivacity.
