Moissan, by employing special arrangements and very powerful currents, has thus been able to obtain in his “electric furnace” a temperature estimated at 3,500° C., which nearly approaches the lower of the above-mentioned limits, and he has thereby produced many new and unexpected chemical combinations of refractory elements.
