Rapid Determination Of Alumina In Diaspore Clays, Matthew Julius Kerper Jan 1947

Rapid Determination Of Alumina In Diaspore Clays, Matthew Julius Kerper

Masters Theses

"The alumina content of the diaspore clay is the index to its refractoriness, so it is important to know the alumina content of the diaspore clay. Diaspore is mined in comparatively small pits and naturally the alumina content will vary from pit to pit and will vary to a considerable extent in the same pit. Since a uniform finished product is desired, the alumina content of each pit must be known and frequent checks run on the output of the pits. Chemical analysis is the standard method of determining the amount of alumina in clays. The main objections to chemical …


The Determination Of The Alumina Content In Diaspore And High Alumina Clays, W. D. Keller Jan 1930

The Determination Of The Alumina Content In Diaspore And High Alumina Clays, W. D. Keller

Bachelors Theses

"The determination of the alumina in diaspore and kindred high alumina clays has been a problem which has attracted the interest of ceramists and chemists ever since a sample of Missouri diaspore was first sent for analysis to the laboratories of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1917...It is the writer's intention to review in this paper the various published methods for the determination of alumina in high alumina clays and to present a new indirect one that after some months' use in industrial practice, fulfills, in some measure at least, the need outlined above"--Introduction, page 1 -2.
