Amalgamation will not take place unless the two metals are bright and clean; any slight film upon the mercury, such as is produced by grease or tarnish, prevents contact, and the little particle of gold rolls or slides down over the plate, just as it would do on a plain sheet of copper, and is liable to escape. The greatest care has therefore to be taken to keep the amalgamated plates clean, and from time to time any tarnish may be removed by brushing them with a solution of cyanide of potassium. Other means of keeping quicksilver bright are the addition of a little sodium amalgam, or the production of nascent hydrogen upon the surface of a mercury bath by the passage of a current of electricity. This is the principle of Molloy's amalgamator, and that invented by Chaster and Beck. It is evident from experiments, when the mercury covered with water is connected to the negative pole of a dynamo, and lead plates forming the anode are connected to the positive pole, that the disengagement of hydrogen does keep the bath constantly bright and lively, and fully entitles the metal to its familiar name "quicksilver." Under these circumstances it takes hold of the gold more readily, but the process does not appear to have gone beyond the experimental stage at present. Considering the ease with which amalgamation is impeded or prevented by a flimsy coating upon the mercury or upon the gold, it is not surprising that ru...
