1774Priestley Observ. Air I. 178 note, It might not be amiss to call air that has been..made noxious by any of the processes above mentioned..by the common appellation of phlogisticated air. 1776― in Phil. Trans. LXVI. 242 The nitrous air..lost a great proportion of its power of diminishing, that is, phlogisticating, common air. 1789Ibid. LXXIX. 146 It is also natural to suppose, that..the dephlogisticating principle..[being] expelled, the phlogisticating principle should enter. 1805W. Saunders Min. Waters 160 Almost intirely phlogisticated air, or, as it is now termed, azotic gas. 1846Grove Contrib. Sc. in Corr. Phys. Forces (1874) 325 Priestley..was led to believe that water was convertible into nitrogen (phlogisticated air).

1774Priestley Observ. Air (1775) I. 189 This air..without any previous phlogistication, is purified by agitation in water. 1794Sullivan View Nat. II. 86 The power of the loadstone..is increased by cooling, by a regeneration of iron, or phlogistication of its calx, and by the action of acids upon iron. 1801Wollaston in Phil. Trans. XCI. 432 In the precipitation of copper by silver, [we see] an instance of de-oxidation (or phlogistication) by negative electricity. |
