Liver of sulfur decomposes to sulfate of potash and carbonate of potash, neither of which has any value as an oxidizer of metal. [2] The reactivity of liver of sulfur with silver and copper quickly creates a dark or colored patina on the metal. This is done by immersing the metal object in a solution of liver of sulfur and water.
M.S. Rau's Sherita Bougere offers up her best advice on how to clean and polish brass at home.
Milk of sulfur (lac sulphuris) – formed by adding an acid to thion hudor (lime sulfur). Natron/soda ash/soda – sodium carbonate. Na 2 CO 3; Nitrum flammans – ammonium nitrate. Sugar of lead – lead(II) acetate, formed by dissolving lead oxide in vinegar. Thion hudor – lime sulfur, formed by boiling flowers of sulfur with slaked lime.
Patina (/ p ə ˈ t iː n ə / pə-TEE-nə or / ˈ p æ t ɪ n ə / PAT-ih-nə) is a thin layer that variously forms on the surface of copper, brass, bronze, and similar metals and metal alloys (tarnish produced by oxidation or other chemical processes), or certain stones [1] and wooden furniture (sheen produced by age, wear, and polishing), or ...

Tends to poison hot cathodes and form conductive deposits on surfaces. [3] Any materials that have been zinc-coated by galvanization should be avoided, or they have the coating removed first.
