Hydrolysis of acidic ferric sulphate solutions of various concentrations with the addition of zinc sulphate has been investigated in an autoclave at the temperatures of 185°C and 200°C. The results obtained were as follows;
1. When the hydrolysis of ferric sulphate solutions was at equilibrium, the final concentrations of iron in the solutions increased with the increase of sulphuric acid concentrations, but at the same sulphuric acid concentrations, those of iron decreased considerably with the addition of zinc sulphate.
2. In the hydrolysis of ferric sulphate solutions, ferric oxide, Fe
2O
3, was precipitated at lower sulphuric acid concentrations. But the stable region of ferric oxide was extended with the addition of zinc sulphate in the ferric sulphate solutions.
3. In the hydrolysis of ferric sulphate. solutions at 185°C in the absence of zinc sulphate, Fe
2O
3is stable below 55.8g/l H
2SO
4, and Fe (OH) SO
4is stable above 55.8g/l H

4. When zinc sulphate was added to the solutions, Fe
2O
3is stable'over a wide range of conditions. For example, at 185°C, when respectively about 70g/1 Zn and 100g/l Zn as zinc sulphate were added, F
e2O
3is stable up to 84.2g/l H

5. When zinc sulphate was added to the solutions, the relations between the concentrations of iron and those of sulphuric acid over the ferric oxide stable region are expressed _by the following experimental equations. At the temperature of 185°C log [F
