Synthesis
Potassium ferrocyanide is produced industrially from hydrogen cyanide, ferrous chloride, calcium hydroxide, the combination of which affords Ca2 ยท 11H2O. This solution is then treated with potassium salts to precipitate the mixed calcium-potassium salt CaK2, which in turn is treated with potassium carbonate to give the tetrapotassium salt.

Famous quotes containing the word synthesis:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“In order to begin an analysis, there must already be a synthesis present in the mind.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“If in the opinion of the Tsars authors were to be the servants of the state, in the opinion of the radical critics writers were to be the servants of the masses. The two lines of thought were bound to meet and join forces when at last, in our times, a new kind of regime the synthesis of a Hegelian triad, combined the idea of the masses with the idea of the state.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
