Extract

In a general account of the properties of torbernite given by the present author in this magazine in 1916 it was shown that the transition from torbernite to the first dehydrationproduct, known as meta-torbernite I (meta-kupferuranit), was dependent on the temperature and the vapour-pressure, and that the boundary, of the stability area lay only a little outside the range of ordinary atmospheric conditions; the transition-point of torbernite in contact With water was determined as 75° C.
