Dutch ..... Witte as die voornamelijk uit kalkfosfaat bestaat, en die wordt verkregen door beenderen in lucht te verbranden. Beenderas wordt gebruikt voor de reiniging van sieraden. Kroezen van beenderas worden in middeleeuwse en latere archeologische contexten verbonden aan de raffinage van edelmetalen in alchemie, essayering, edelsmederijen en munterijen. |
