OBITUARY: JAMES WEST KNIGHTS 133 revived interest in “light ” treatment that Blunt’s work has received due recogni- tion. I t was my good fortune to join Blunt in his analytical work in 1912; this was the beginning of an association which was marked by Blunt’s unfailing willingness to share his knowledge and experience with a man many years his junior, and by a staunch friendship lasting until his death. He had many interests apart from his work; a keen and able field botanist, he was a vice-president of the Caradoc and Severn Valley Field Club, acted as honorary curator of the botanical section of the Shrewsbury Museum, and as a judge of wild flowers at the Shrewsbury Show for half a century. An enthusiastic educationist , he served on the board of management for several schools.A love of the Classics, formed in his Oxford days, was retained throughout his life, and his ability as a Latin and Greek scholar was of no mean order. In his younger days he was a rowing man, being in his College crew, and he also served as a volunteer. Blunt combined exceptional charm of manner with a generous and kindly disposition; a scholar and a gentleman, he did much to establish the traditions and dignity of his profession, and his example is one which a younger generation of Public Analysts may well strive to emulate. HAROLD LOWE. JAMES WEST KNIGHTS. WE have recently had to mourn the loss of several of the oldest members of our Society, and the death of James West Knights, at the age of 75, has now added another to the list. James West Knights was the second son of Mr.James Knights, of St. Ives, Hunts. He was educated at St. Ives Grammar School and at Barton School, Wisbech. ,After leaving school he served an apprenticeship with a local druggist, and then came to London to undergo a course of training in analytical chemistry. His professional career began by his becoming chief analyst to a firm of chemical manufacturers in Flint, and shortly afterwards, at the early age of 25, he was appointed Public Analyst for the Borough and County of Cambridge, the Isle of Ely, the County of Hunts., and the Boroughs of Wisbech and King’s Lynn. These appointments he held until last year, when he retired, after 50 years’ service. For inany years he also acted as gas examiner to the Cambridge Corporation. West Knights joined our Society in 1878, and he contributed several papers to the early volumes of THE ANALYST, including a method for the estimation of nitrates in water (1882, 6, 56) and a description of the familiar form of extraction apparatus which bears his name (1886, 8, 65).For many years past he took no part in the work of the Society, and was therefore personally known to only a few of our members.

102 THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC First Report of the Sub-committee on the Determination of Arsenic Lead and other Poisonous Metals in Food Colouring Materials to the Standing Committee on the Uniformity of Analytical Methods. I. THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC. THE Sub-committee was convened by the Standing Committee and consists of the following members : T. Callan M.Sc. Ph.D. F.I.C. (Chairman) nominated by the British Dyestuffs Corporation. S. G . Clifford A.I.C. (Hon. Sec.) nominated by the Oil and Colour Chemists’ Association. H. Drake Law D.Sc. F.I.C. and W. G. Messenger B.Sc. A.I.C. nominated by the Society of Public Analysts and Other Analytical Chemists. T. Macara F.I.C. nominated by the British Association of Research for the Cocoa Chocolate Sugar Confectionery and Jam Trades.J. R. Nicholls BSc. F.I.C. nominated by the Government Chemist. The terms of reference of the Sub-committee from the Standing Committee were :-To investigate formulate and recommend methods for the determination of arsenic lead copper tin zinc and other metals in food-colouring materials THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC 103 The terms of reference do not include consideration of the permissible quan-tities* of such metallic impurities and the Sub-committee has been careful to consider therefore only methods for their determination. It was decided to deal in the first place with the question of the determination of arsenic in synthetic dyestuffs. A general invitation to all interested was pub-lished in THE ANALYST and other journals to communicate relevant information to the Sub-committee and information as to the method they employed was solicited from a number of important firms and individuals.As a result com-munications were received from a number of dyestuffs manufacturers and important firms in the confectionery trades and from individual analysts. DESTRUCTIVE WET OXIDATION.-The methods received from these sources were carefully considered and it appeared that there was a preponderance of opinion conforming with the view of the Sub-committee that destructive wet oxidation was the best method of bringing the colouring matter into a suitable condition in which arsenic could be satisfactorily determined. This method has, therefore been exhaustively studied by the Sub-committee. At the outset it was soon realised that whilst it was comparatively simple to lay down specified conditions for the destructive wet oxidation of individual dye-stuffs it was a matter of very great difficulty to devise conditions which would be applicable to all or nearly all colours.In some cases violent initial reaction took place; in other cases excessive frothing caused difficulty whilst in still other cases an initial controllable reaction was followed by violent reaction or even de-flagration probably due to the formation of explosive compounds. Many samples of dyestuffs were circulated and examined by members of the Sub-committee and eventually it was found possible to standardise the conditions of destructive wet oxidation so that practically all cases could be successfully dealt with.Nitric acid was eventually selected as the most suitable oxidising agent, although other agents (e.g. potassium persulphate) were investigated. DISTILLATION OF THE ARsENIc.-The Sub-committee came to the conclusion that to obtain strictly comparable results it was necessary that the solution, after the process of destructive wet oxidation and before actually determining the arsenic contained therein should be as far as possible freed from disturbing substances and should be in a similar condition in all cases. In order to arrive at this desirable state of affairs it was considered essential that a distillation process should follow the process of destructive wet oxidation so as to obtain a distillate containing all the arsenic and no disturbing impurities.A full investigation of various distillation processes was carried out to dis-cover the most suitable conditions and the Sub-committee would particularly stress the importance of using in this stage of the process the relative quantities which are specified in the detailed methods which follow hereafter. Using such quantities there is a steady evolution of hydrochloric acid gas throughout the distillation which is essential to the success of the method whilst serious divergence from the recommended quantities is liable to lead either to too vigorous reaction in the early stages of the distillation whereby arsenious chloride may be swept through the receiver or to the evolution of water resulting in the decomposition of arsenious chloride in the still head.The best conditions for the distillation of the oxidised product having been ascertained the possibility of shortening the process by distilling the original dyestuff with sulphuric and hydrochloric acids without previous oxidation was carefully investigated. * See ANALYST 1928 53 217 104 T H E DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC A large number of samples was examined by this direct distillation process under many conditions of experiment and as a result the Sub-committee has come definitely to the conclusion that whilst in most cases the direct method gives satisfactory results provided two distillations are carried out in certain cases, e.g. nigrosine the results are low and even after two distillations there may still be an appreciable quantity of arsenic remaining in the distilling flask which is only slowly liberated and carried over.The Sub-committee is therefore unable to recommend this method as a general one but it is so rapid and simple that full details for carrying it out are given with the warning that whilst it is very suitable as a rapid sorting-out test it is not entirely reliable. The Sub-committee also investigated the official standard method issued by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (Bulletin No. 1390 1927) for determining arsenic in certain specified dyestuffs which consists in adding a large excess of sodium phosphate and ammonia to a solution of the dyestuff either after or without pre-vious partial oxidation with nitric acid and then adding a slight excess of magnesia mixture and determining the arsenic brought down in the magnesium-ammonium-phosphate precipitate.Whilst results obtained by this method on certain dyestuffs were satisfactory, it was considered that the method was not of general application to all classes of dyestuffs and its investigation was not further proceeded with. DETERMINATION O F ARSENIC* I N THE PREPARED SoLuTIoN.-The Sub-Com-mittee considered the methods available for the actual determination of arsenic in the solution resulting from the oxidation and distillation processes and came to the conclusion that the method eventually to be adopted should be the simplest attainable and one if possible which did not require the provision of special apparatus. It was appreciated that many refinements or modifications of the Marsh-Berzelius and Gutzeit methods were available to choose from for example the use of electrolytic methods.It was felt however that such methods often involved a special technique and special apparatus and should not be resorted to unless simpler methods were inadequate. As the simplest method in general use is the ‘ I Gutzeit ” method originally due to MayenGon and Bergeret,? this was carefully investigated taking as a basis the standard official method prescribed by the British Pharmacopoeia, 1914 using zinc and acid. It was found that the Pharmacopoeia method if modified in certain respects was entirely satisfactory when applied to the solution free from all disturbing impurities as obtained after distillation and this method is recommended by the Sub-committee. During the course of the investigation of a large number of samples of dyestuffs of all types circdated among the members of the Sub-committee for analysis quite serious discrepancies between the individual results were found in the early stages of the work even when the same method and identical material were employed.Such discrepancies have been systematically traced to small variations in either manipulative details or unsuspected sources of error. As the work of the Sub-Commit tee has progressed such sources of error have been gradually eliminated, and precautions for avoiding them have been incorporated in the text of the recommended methods where required. * The term “arsenic ” is used for the sake of brevity though the results are invariably t Compt. rend. 1874 79 118.expressed as arsenious oxide THE DETERMIXATION OF ARSENIC 105 As illustrations of such sources of error might be mentioned (a) the importance of not adding sulphuric acid in the eady stages of method (A) until the initial reaction with nitric acid has subsided (in certain methods received from outside sources sulphuric acid was added at the commencemevzt of the oxidation process, so that if the dyestuff contains a large amount of sodium chloride as is often the case there is real danger of loss of arsenic); (b) the necessity of adhering to the strengths of nitric acid recommended if explosion of easily oxidisable colours is to be avoided; (c) the importance of the relative quantities of reagents in the distillation process referred to above. In illustration of the importance of apparently trivial details it might be mentioned that the substitution of rough-surfaced paper for the smooth-surfaced paper which is recommended for the preparation of mercuric chloride test papers led to serious discrepancies in the judgment of the intensity of the colour obtained.Attention is also drawn to the necessity of “pickling” all glass apparatus by a preliminary boiling with dilute hydrochloric acid before use. Certain varieties of resistance glass contain arsenic as an essential constituent and it is important to ascertain therefore that all glassware used does not yield traces of arsenic under the conditions of the test. The conditions are particularly severe in the oxidation and distillation processes. The Sub-committee considers that provided the conditions laid down are strictly followed there should be no difficulty in obtaining accurate and concordant results.The following table gives the actual results obtained by the individual members of the Sub-committee using method “A” on samples of five dyestuffs containing widely differing amounts of arsenic : Arsenious oxide parts per lo6. A. B. C. D. E. F. Acid yellow . . 5,5G 4.5 5.2 5.8 5,5-5 5,5*6 Benzo-purpurine 1,1-5 2 1.4 1.5,2 1.5 1.5 Ponceau 2.5 2 2-8 1.5 1-2 2 Indigo carmine . . 9 8 8.5 9 9 8.5 Tart razine 1 1.5 1.5 0.9 0.8 0.8 These results do not of course necessarily prove that all the arsenic present was accounted for. To prove this is actually impossible. The Sub-committee has however satisfied itself that when known amounts of arsenic are added to a dyestuff containing only a very small amount of arsenic a satisfactory recovery of the arsenic actually added is obtained.Thus arsenic in the form of a standard solution was added to the sample of tartrazine referred to above at the com-mencement of the analysis after weighing into the flask and an analysis was made by each member of the Sub-committee the results obtained being as follows: Arsenious oxide parts per 1V. A. B. C. D. E. F. Added 4.5 3.5 4 8 5 5 Recovered 4 4 3-3.5 3.8 7.5 8 4*8,5 4.5 6 In considering the above results which may be regarded as being typical of a very large number of analyses carried out by the Sub-committee on different classes of dyestuffs it is important to remember that the result obtained depends finally on an estimation rather than on a determination.This is true in all cases where extremely small amounts of arsenic are in question whether the method be the Marsh-Berzelius method involving estimation of the intensity of a mirror, or as in the method here recommended the intensity of a stain on a test paper 106 THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC In the case of a stain on mercuric chloride paper corresponding to say, 0.005 mgrm. As203 which is a very suitable intensity of stain to evaluate it is a very moot point whether the average eye would detect with certainty the difference between a stain given by 0.0045 and 0.005 mgrm. of As20, or between 0.005 and 0.0055 mgrm. of As203 so that a stain which is estimated to be equal to 0.005 mgrm. of As,O may actually be equivalent to 0.0045 or 0.0055 mgrm.or a stain actually due to 0-0045 mgrm. may be estimated to be either 0.004 or 0.005 mgrm. according to the individual judgment. The effect of this inherent possibility of error of at least 0.0005 mgrm. is shown in the following table it being assumed that aliquot portions of the test solutions are taken in each case to give a stain equal to 0.005 mgrm. of As,O,. Effect of a difference of 0.0005 mgrm. on the results expressed as parts Parts of As,O per million present. As,O per million. 1 5 10 20 Thus in the case of a sample containing 5 parts per million of As203 it would be possible for two analysts to differ by one part per million attributable solely to the personal equation in the matter of judging the intensity of the coloration.The methods as finally adopted by the Sub-committee are as follows: DIRECT DISTILLATION METHOD.-h order to obtain rapidly an approximate idea of the amount of arsenic in a dyestuff a direct distillation method may be employed. As a rule this method gives results closely approximating to the true arsenic content. It is liable to give somewhat low results with certain colours, c.g. nigrosine. It is however very useful as a “sorting-out ” test. The method is to be carried out as follows: Five grms. of the dyestuff are weighed into a 100 ml. or 200 ml. Kjeldahl flask of resistance glass or silica with a ground-in condenser into which has been blown a tap funnel as shown in Fig. (i). A mixture of 20 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid and 14 ml.of water previously mixed and cooled to 5” C. is then added to the colour and the whole is thoroughly mixed the mixture meanwhile being cooled externally. While still cooling 5 grms. of a mixture made up in the following proportions-5 grms. of sodium chloride 0.5 grm. of hydrazine sulphate 0.02 grm. of potassium bromide-are added followed rapidly by 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Care should be taken that no solid material comes in contact with the ground-in portion of the flask. The mixture of chloride-hydrazine-bromide can be made up in bulk and will keep indefinitely in a tightly-stoppered bottle. The condenser is quickly fitted and the mixture distilled* into 10 ml. of water and 2 ml. of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1.42) contained in a receiver which is cooled externally.The exit end.should dip below the surface of the liquid. When all, or nearly all of the hydrochloric acid has distilled over (indicated by the appearance of steam in the condenser accompanied by strong tendency to suck back) the distillation is stopped and the receiver changed. The contents of the Kjeldahl flask are then cooled to room temperature a further quantity of 10 ml. of * If difficulty due to frothing is experienced 2 ml. of amyl alcohol may be added ty the contents of the Kjeldahl flask a t the commencement of the distillation in which case the end-point” is taken as that point at which amyl alcohol appears in the condenser and the bulb of the condenser is full of vapour T H E DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC 107 concentrated hydrochloric acid is added slowly through the tap funnel in the condenser and the distillation continued into a further quantity of 10 ml.of water and 2 ml. of nitric acid (sp. gr. 1*42)until the hydrochloric acid has again been driven off. The first and second distillates are mixed and evaporated to dryness on the water-bath in a porcelain basin. Five ml. of water are then added and evaporated to dryness and this is repeated to make sure that all nitric acid has been eliminated. The residue is then dissolved by warming with 3 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid cooled and cautiously diluted to 25 ml. with water. The solution is then ready for trans-ference to the arsenic apparatus described later. ~ig.[i) ~ i g . [ i i i METHOD A.-The following method whilst more tedious than the direct distillation method must be used to obtain accurate results: Five grms.of the sample are treated with 10 ml. of 30 per cent. nitric acid in a 100 ml. or 200 ml. resistance glass or silica Kjeldahl flask,* or in the distillation flask already referred to. The mixture after any initial vigorous reaction has subsided is heated until any further vigorous reaction ceases then cooled and 10 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid gradually added at such a rate as not to cause excessive frothing or heating (10 minutes is usually required) and the heating continued until the liquid appreciably darkens in colour. To the hot solution 5 ml. of nitric acid (1.42 sp. gr.) are added slowly in small portions and the liquid boiled down until colourless or pale yellow.If this amount of nitric acid is insufficient to bring about the desired decolori-sation further acid is added in small portions at a time preferably by dropping in from a burette note being kept of the amount. After cooling the liquid is diluted with 50 ml. of water and transferred to the flask of the special distillation apparatus shown in Fig. (i) or to a similar apparatus without the tap funnel, The solution is first boiled down without inserting the condensing arm to 10 ml., * If excessive frothing is experienced in the early stages the preliminary treatment may be carried out in a 500 ml. beaker until frothing has been brought well under control. The mixture is then transferred to the Kjeldahl flask the subsequent procedure being as above 108 THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC or until white fumes appear cooled diluted and again boiled down to 10 ml., cooled and 7.0 ml.water added. The liquid is well cooled and 5 grms. of the chloride-hydrazine-bromide mixture referred to in the direct distillation method are introduced through a short-stemmed funnel (avoiding contamination of the ground portion of the neck of the flask) followed immediately by 10 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The condenser* is quickly fitted and the liquid distilled into an externally cooled mixture of 10 ml. of water and 2 ml. of nitric acid,? until its volume is reduced by about half or until about 5 minutes after the condenser is full of steam the exit end dipping below the surface of the liquid. The distillate is then evaporated to dryness on the water-bath the residue twice evaporated to dryness with 5 ml.of water to remove nitric acid dissolved by warming in 3 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid, and diluted to 25 ml. with water as described under the direct distillation method. METHOD B .-Certain colours-particularly basic dyestuff s-give trouble in the oxidation process owing to their liability to violent deflagration. In such cases the following modification of method “A” may be employed: Five grms. of the dyestuff are placed in a resistance glass or silica Kjeldahl flask and 25-30 ml. 30 per cent. nitric acid are added. The mixture is warmed until the initial vigorous reaction is over. At this point the formation of a spongy or tarry cake is usually observed. The mixture is cooled and the acid liquor poured off.The tarry material in the flask is washed with the smallest possible quantity of water and the washings added to the acid liquor. To the tarry residue are added 10 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid and the contents of the flask are agitated until the residue is dispersed.$ Concentrated nitric acid is then added, drop by drop until vigorous oxidation is over the mixture being warmed if necessary. The poured-off acid liquor is returned to the flask and the mixture is boiled down until the colour just commences to darken. Destruction is completed as in method “A.” DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC I N THE PREPARED SoLuTIoN.-The arsenic in the prepared solution from the direct distillation process or from the distillation process following the oxidation process is to be determined by the following method : The apparatus for carrying out the test shall be exactly as defined in the British Pharmacopoeia 1914 with the following exception : The gas exit tube shall have an internal diameter of 4 mm.and shall not be widened out at the gas exit end but shall be ground smooth at right angles to the tube. The test papers are to be prepared by soaking smooth-surfaced filter paper similar in substance and texture to No. 1 Whatman filter paper in a saturated aqueous solution of mercuric chloride and are to be dried in a warm atmosphere without exposure to bright daylight. The edges of the dry papers are to be rejected and the paper must be kept in the dark until required. The mercuric chloride paper * If the form of condenser shown in Fig.(i) does not effectively prevent sucking back the type shown in Fig. (ii) may be substituted. t The process may be appreciably shortened by distilling into 10 ml. of saturated bromine water instead of into dilute nitric acid. In this case care must be taken that there is an excess of bromine water in the receiver a t the end of the distillation. No attempt should be made to boil off the excess of bromine from the distillate otherwise loss of arsenic may ensue. The distillate is made up directly to 25 ml. with water and a suitable aliquot taken for transference to the apparatus subsequently described. $ If i t is found that the tarry matter cannot be satisfactorily treated in the Kjeldahl flask, it may be transferred to a 600 ml.beaker. In this case i t may be necessary to use rather more than 10 ml. H,SO for the subsequent treatment. If more than 10 ml. sulphuric acid are used the solution is boiled down to the corresponding volume and water in the proportion already described, that is 7.0 ml. of water for each 10 ml. of acid is added THE DETERMINATION OF ARSENIC 109 shall be used in the test in the form of a disc held flatly and firmly against the ground end of the tube by any suitable means. The method recommended by the British Pharmacopoeia 1914 of securing the test paper at the end of the tube by means of a rubber band is not a satisfactory method; more effective methods are those to which reference is made.* In carrying out the test either the whole of the solution (corresponding to 6 grms.of dyestuff) or if the arsenic content is more than 1 part per million, such an aliquot portion as would contain from 0-004 to 0.010 mgrm. arsenic is mixed with sulphuric acid stannated hydrochloric acid and water in the following proportions : x ml. of prepared distillate, 25-x ml. of 1 :8 sulphuric acid, 8 ml. of stannated hydrochloric acid B.P., and water to make up to 60 ml. The mixture is transferred to the apparatus 10 grms. of granulated zinc are added, and the apparatus immediately assembled. It is essential that the zinc used should not only be free from arsenic but that it should also be “active.” A blank determination should give no stain on the test paper under the conditions of the test but should give a definite stain when 0.001 mgrm. of As,O is present. The reaction is allowed to proceed without the application of external heat for 15 minutes the mercuric chloride paper being protected from strong light, and the reacting vessel is then transferred to a water-bath maintained a t 35-40’ C. for 30 minutes. The stain so produced on the paper is compared with a series of freshly made standard stains prepared by adding a known amount of arsenic to tests carried out under the conditions as standardised above a suitable range being 0.001 to 0.010 mgrm. the stains being examined under normal daylight conditions. Adequate precautions are to be taken and blank tests made to ensure that the apparatus and all reagents used give no visible stain. For and on DECEMBER 1929. behalf of the Sub-committee, (Signed) T.

OBITUARY: JAMES WEST KNIGHTS 133 revived interest in “light ” treatment that Blunt’s work has received due recogni- tion. I t was my good fortune to join Blunt in his analytical work in 1912; this was the beginning of an association which was marked by Blunt’s unfailing willingness to share his knowledge and experience with a man many years his junior, and by a staunch friendship lasting until his death. He had many interests apart from his work; a keen and able field botanist, he was a vice-president of the Caradoc and Severn Valley Field Club, acted as honorary curator of the botanical section of the Shrewsbury Museum, and as a judge of wild flowers at the Shrewsbury Show for half a century. An enthusiastic educationist , he served on the board of management for several schools.A love of the Classics, formed in his Oxford days, was retained throughout his life, and his ability as a Latin and Greek scholar was of no mean order. In his younger days he was a rowing man, being in his College crew, and he also served as a volunteer. Blunt combined exceptional charm of manner with a generous and kindly disposition; a scholar and a gentleman, he did much to establish the traditions and dignity of his profession, and his example is one which a younger generation of Public Analysts may well strive to emulate.

WE have recently had to mourn the loss of several of the oldest members of our Society, and the death of James West Knights, at the age of 75, has now added another to the list.

He was educated at St. Ives Grammar School and at Barton School, Wisbech. ,After leaving school he served an apprenticeship with a local druggist, and then came to London to undergo a course of training in analytical chemistry.

His professional career began by his becoming chief analyst to a firm of chemical manufacturers in Flint, and shortly afterwards, at the early age of 25, he was appointed Public Analyst for the Borough and County of Cambridge, the Isle of Ely, the County of Hunts., and the Boroughs of Wisbech and King’s Lynn. These appointments he held until last year, when he retired, after 50 years’ service. For inany years he also acted as gas examiner to the Cambridge Corporation. West Knights joined our Society in 1878, and he contributed several papers to the early volumes of THE ANALYST, including a method for the estimation of nitrates in water (1882, 6, 56) and a description of the familiar form of extraction apparatus which bears his name (1886, 8, 65). For many years past he took no part in the work of the Society, and was therefore personally known to only a few of our members. EDITOR.
