Dezincification :: Dezincification (n.) The act or process of freeing from zinc; also, the condition resulting from the removal of zinc..

Cadmium :: Cadmium (n.) A comparatively rare element related to zinc, and occurring in some zinc ores. It is a white metal, both ductile and malleable. Symbol Cd. Atomic weight 111.8. It was discovered by Stromeyer in 1817, who named it from its association with zinc or zinc ore..

Zincide :: Zincide (n.) A binary compound of zinc.

Zincking :: Zincking (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Zin.

Smithsonite :: Smithsonite (n.) Native zinc carbonate. It generally occurs in stalactitic, reniform, or botryoidal shapes, of a white to gray, green, or brown color. See Note under Calamine..

Argentan :: Argentan (n.) An alloy of nickel with copper and zinc; German silver.

Zinc :: Zinc (n.) An abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group, extracted principally from the minerals zinc blende, smithsonite, calamine, and franklinite, as an easily fusible bluish white metal, which is malleable, especially when heated. It is not easily oxidized in moist air, and hence is used for sheeting, coating galvanized iron, etc. It is used in making brass, britannia, and other alloys, and is also largely consumed in electric batteries. Symbol Zn. Atomic weight 64.9..

Brass :: Brass (n.) An alloy (usually yellow) of copper and zinc, in variable proportion, but often containing two parts of copper to one part of zinc. It sometimes contains tin, and rarely other metals..

Gallium :: Gallium (n.) A rare metallic element, found in certain zinc ores. It is white, hard, and malleable, resembling aluminium, and remarcable for its low melting point (86/ F., 30/C). Symbol Ga. Atomic weight 69.9..

Zincic :: Zincic (a.) Pertaining to, containing, or resembling, zinc; zincous..

Graphotype :: Graphotype (n.) A process for producing a design upon a surface in relief so that it can be printed from. Prepared chalk or oxide of zinc is pressed upon a smooth plate by a hydraulic press, and the design is drawn upon this in a peculiar ink which hardens the surface wherever it is applied. The surface is then carefully rubbed or brushed, leaving the lines in relief..

Oroide :: Oroide (n.) An alloy, chiefly of copper and zinc or tin, resembling gold in color and brilliancy..

Zinco-polar :: Zinco-polar (a.) Electrically polarized like the surface of the zinc presented to the acid in a battery, which has zincous affinity..

Zincous :: Zincous (a.) Hence, formerly, basic, basylous, as opposed to chlorous..

Dezincify :: Dezincify (v. t.) To deprive of, or free from, zinc..

Indium :: Indium (n.) A rare metallic element, discovered in certain ores of zinc, by means of its characteristic spectrum of two indigo blue lines; hence, its name. In appearance it resembles zinc, being white or lead gray, soft, malleable and easily fusible, but in its chemical relation it resembles aluminium or gallium. Symbol In. Atomic weight, 113.4..

Zincane :: Zincane (n.) Zinc chloride.

Aurichalcite :: Aurichalcite (n.) A hydrous carbonate of copper and zinc, found in pale green or blue crystalline aggregations. It yields a kind of brass on reduction..

Zincify :: Zincify (v. t.) To coat or impregnate with zinc.

Hydrogen :: Hydrogen (n.) A gaseous element, colorless, tasteless, and odorless, the lightest known substance, being fourteen and a half times lighter than air (hence its use in filling balloons), and over eleven thousand times lighter than water. It is very abundant, being an ingredient of water and of many other substances, especially those of animal or vegetable origin. It may by produced in many ways, but is chiefly obtained by the action of acids (as sulphuric) on metals, as zinc, iron, etc. It is very
