Mercury compounds retain the toxicity of their parent metal. Many are unstable, including mercurous compounds in which mercury exists as Hg or Hg(I) or as a mercury salt like mercuric salts in which mercury exists as [Pg.145]

The processing of bauxite aluminium ore (hydrated alumina oxides) exemplifies these processes. In the Bayer process hot concentrated sodium hydroxide dissolves alumina which is subsequently separated and crystallized as aluminium hydroxide (hydrometallurgy). This is calcined to anhydrous alumina (pyrometallurgy) before being reduced in the Hall process (electrometallurgy) wherein alumina serves as the electrode from which elemental aluminium is deposited on the cathode.

Mercury (Quicksilver, Hydrargyrum), Hg, at wt 200.61, silvery liq, mp —38.87°, bp 356.9°, d 13.546g/cc at 20°. Insol in w, HC1, ale and eth sol In nitric acid. Sometimes found native poisonous. Can be prepd by heating the ore cinnabar (HgS) either in air or with lime. Forms numerous salts, some of which are very expl, eg, Hg fulminate, Hg azide, etc. The presence of Hg in expls, even in minute quants, is unde-sireable because it affects the result of thermal stability tests. Marshall (Ref 1) describes various tests used in Engl and Ger for its detection in different expls and propints Refs 1) Marshall 2, 708-12(1917) 2) Mellor... [Pg.77]

Mercury (chemical symbol Hg, from the Latin name of the metal, hydrar-gyrium, liquid silver), previously also known as quicksilver is, at ordinary temperatures, a silvery white liquid metal that boils at 360°C. The metal is occasionally found in nature in the native state. Most mercury has been derived, however, from the red mineral cinnabar (composed of mercuric sulfide) that was also used in the past as a red pigment known as vermilion (see Textbox 41). The Greek philosopher Aristotle, writing in the fourth... [Pg.211]

Mercury is the alchemical symbol for consciousness because the metal mercury, quicksilver, is used to coat glass to make mirrors. The mirror, in both Eastern and Western traditions, is often used as a metaphor for the inherently pure and transparent nature of mind, pure awareness, the light of Primordial Consciousness. It is in the mirror of human consciousness that God beholds God. [Pg.146]

In the course of time these three unite, and are changed through the action of fire into a palpable substance, viz., quicksilver, sulphur, and salt. If these three substances be mixed, they are hardened and coagulated into a perfect body, which represents the seed chosen and appointed by the Creator. This is a most important and certain truth. If the metallic soul, the metallic spirit, and the metallic form of body be present, there will also be metallic quicksilver, metallic sulphur, and metallic salt, which together make up the perfect metallic body.

As a parting kindness to you, I am constrained to add that the spirit may also be extracted from black Saturn and benevolent Jupiter. When it has been reduced to a sweet oil, we have a means of robbing the common liquid quicksilver of its vivacity, or rendering it firm and solid, as is also set forth in my book. [Pg.81]

The planets do not feature amongst these sites. It has become totally unreasonable to attribute the paternity of quicksilver (mercury) to the planet Mercury, to associate iron with the red planet Mars, and lead with Saturn. We know today that iron, lead and mercury come from supernovas. [Pg.96]
