A Dead Horse Use in a French Chemical Factory
In France, a horse past its prime is sent to a chemical factory where the hair is removed for cushions, the carcass skinned, hooves used for combs, and the body cooked under steam to separate grease. Bones yield knife handles, and coarse ribs and head become animal black and glue. Phosphate and carbonate processes produce ammonia base salts, insecticide, and vermifuge. Bone dissolution and acid treatment refine materials for fertilizer, matches, and prussiate products, while remaining flesh yields ammonia carbonate and cyanide precursors. The sequence ends with prussic acid and poison precursors formed.
