Several metallic sulfide compounds have been used as fuels in pyrotechnic compositions. Antimony trisulfide, Sb 2S3, is a reasonably low-melting material (m.p. 548°C) with a heat of combustion of approximately 1 kcal/gram. It is easily ignited and can be used to aid in the ignition of more difficult fuels, serving as a "tinder" in the same way that elemental sulfur does. It has been used in the fireworks industry for white fire compositions and has been used in place of sulfur in "flash and sound" mixtures with potassium perchlorate and aluminum.

Saltpetre, 18 parts sulphur, 10 parts block sulphnret of antimony, 3 parts nurnt lime, 4 parts. The sulphur is used in the form of flowers previously dried tho limo is not to be Blocked, but must be finely powdered it must be fresb, and be powdered immediately before use. All other mixtures for white fires have either a bluish tinge or con tain deleterious ingredients, which render them at least unsuitable for indoor use. Of tho latter class we will mention only one Saltpetre, 12 parts sulphur. 4 parts sulphite of tin, 1 part. Two other mixtures deserve mention, though not eaual to tho last ...

White Fire This excellent light, on account of its brilliant whiteness, is especially adapted for night signalling and also for festive occasions. It is produced by mixing 24 parts of saltpetre, 7 of flowers of sulpnur, and 2 of realgar. 

Mohr s White Fire, which is very effective and scarcely ever misses fire, is composed of 24 parts of saltpetre, 7 of sulphur, and 1 of fine charcoal. The charcoal increases the inflammability of the mixture and shortens the length of time during which the light burns, but adds to its intensity. It is not permissible to use a larger amount of cnar coal than that given, as the composition, would then approach thatof gunpowder.

The most widespread mineral kaolinite Al2(Si205) (OH)4 having the molecular composiiion AI2O3,2 Si02.2 H2O is the principal constituent of kaolin and the most frequently occurring component of clays. Kaolin is a white-firing kaolinitic clay with a low content of accessory components. 

Kaolin in the mixes has been partially or completely replaced by white-firing clays with good plasticity (cf. Table 4). The mix composition varies over fairly wide ranges some types also contain CaCOj. The so-called hard feldspar earthenware has the following composition 50 —55% clay components, 35 —45 % quartz, 6 —12% feldspar.
