Abstract
Lavoisier studied the oxidation of liquid metals by air for theoretical reasons, and even today this very early work is still an admirable example of experimental ingenuity and precise measurement. In the practical sphere use is made of the oxidation of alloying elements in the extraction of certain metals, the classic example being the cupellation of gold, whereas oxidation is something of a hindrance in the handling of liquid metals, particularly in casting.
