Minerais sulfurés. [...] Les fonderies traitent ces minerais, titrant 45 % ou plus, pour obtenir, soit le crudum (sulfure d'antimoine liquaté), soit le métal, soit l'oxyde. a) obtention d'un crudum : le crudum marchand est un sulfure d'antimoine liquaté titrant 70 %. Il est obtenu par la simple liquation du minerai, opération qui élimine pratiquement toute la gangue. [...] L'opération de liquation est plus facile et donne un meilleur crudum, si la charge est chauffée indirectement dans des cornues inclinées, analogues à celles des fours à zinc, placées dans le laboratoire d'un four à réverbère. Leurs extrémités sont fermées après la charge. Un orifice est prévu dans la fermeture de l'extrémité la plus basse de la cornue pour l'écoulement du crudum, au fur et à mesure de sa liquation. On le recueille dans des moules spéciaux, dans lesquels il se refroidit lentement, donnant ainsi une belle cristallisation. 2, record 3, French, - liquation
