Crystal Habit Modification Of Sodium Chlorate, Michael R. Keegan
Crystal Habit Modification Of Sodium Chlorate, Michael R. Keegan
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
All single crystals have a particular habit or morphology. The crystal habit refers to the relative degree of development of crystallographic planes into surfaces which make up the external appearance of the single crystal.
In this paper, NaClO3 is used as a parent crystal. Its simple cubic habit is modified to tetrahedral by the use of impurities of SO4=, S2O3=, Cr2O7=, and NO3-. The degree of habit change is studied as a function of impurity concentration and temperature. The problem and phenomena are explained in terms of surface chemistry and thermodynamics.

Stress-Corrosion Cracking Of Brass, Paul A. Fossey
Stress-Corrosion Cracking Of Brass, Paul A. Fossey
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
the mechanism of stress-corrosion cracking of brass has been sought for many years. Investigators have proposed many mechanisms, but each of these mechanisms has always had several drawbacks. This paper presents an account of experimental work done in the laboratory on this subject and compares it to the work of previous investigations. It evaluates the mechanisms presented by investigators and shows the failures of these mechanisms. A theory of Nitrogen Embrittlement is presented and an evaluation of this theory with experimental work follows.

An Investigation Of The Sintering Of Iron-Wire Compacts, George L. Vivian
An Investigation Of The Sintering Of Iron-Wire Compacts, George L. Vivian
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A study of the sintering of iron has been made by observing the rate of bonding of iron wires wound on iron spools. The specimens were sintered at a constant temperature of 850c in vacuum furnaces capable of producing pressures of 10-5 to 10-4 mm of mercury, and the growth of the bond between wires was observed as a function of time.
It has been concluded that the volume-diffusion mechanism is strongly operating in the sintering of iron at 850c, but in an evacuated system, the evaporation-condensation mechanism also contributes to the sintering process.

Comminution Studies, George A. Grandy
Comminution Studies, George A. Grandy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Comminution, reduction in size, is one of the most important, yet least understood, steps in mineral dressing. So that more efficient comminuting devices may be designed and constructed, a better knowledge of the relationship between energy consumption and size reduction is desired. Occasional studies during the last 100 years have produced a few "laws" purporting to describe this relationship. In each case, the promulgators and supporters of these laws have presented experimental evidence for their verification. Obviously, all of these advocated practices cannot be correct. To the mill designer, the problem is "Which, if any, of these laws are valid." …

Growth Of A Preferentially Oriented Aluminum Single Crystal, John George Bjeletich
Growth Of A Preferentially Oriented Aluminum Single Crystal, John George Bjeletich
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
When studying some anisotropic property of a specific metal, such as the critical shear stress of aluminum, it is desirable that the test specimen be a single crystal with the crystal axes preferentially oriented. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a single crystal by one of the methods mentioned and by use of x-rays to determine the orientation. Once the single crystal is obtained and the orientation known, it is possible to grow a preferentially oriented aluminum single crystal by a method generally known as "seeding". The purpose of this thesis problem was to grow a crystal by utilizing the …

An Investigation Of The Fundamental Factors Affecting The Green Ball Characteristics In Pellet Formation, Thomas J. Wright
An Investigation Of The Fundamental Factors Affecting The Green Ball Characteristics In Pellet Formation, Thomas J. Wright
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the relative effects on the quality and characteristics of the pellets. Once the major factors effecting agglomerating materials are understood, formerly poor and nonagglomerating materials may be affected so that they will produce good quality agglomerates. Should the factors prove difficult to vary or impossible at least they may be identified and understood, thus serving as a guide for further attack or judgment in overall process design.
Electrical Methods Of Mineral Concentration, Gordon F. Ziesing
Electrical Methods Of Mineral Concentration, Gordon F. Ziesing
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The evaluation of a mineral-dressing method cannot be carried out successfully without an initial understanding of the basic fundamentals and concepts governing the operation of the method. Experimentation, governed by the understanding of the basic concepts, together with intelligent conclusions based on the experimental data, complete the evaluation of the dressing method.
Electrical concentration, being the given dressing method, will be evaluated as discussed above. As they are thoroughly covered by Mora (13), the fundamental concepts will not be given a lengthy discussion.
Separation And Concentration Of Stibiconite, William Howard Painter
Separation And Concentration Of Stibiconite, William Howard Painter
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Primarily, the purpose of this study is to separate stibiconite from associated gangue minerals. The ore containing antimony, as an oxide stibiconite, occurs in Mexico and its benefication would be an advantage to the mineral resources of that country. While the deposit from which this ore is derived is American owned, the resource is presently non-economic. A concentrate must be derived of suitable grade for its use in a smelting operation and from which metallic antimony would be produced.
An Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Certain Organic Compounds In The Flotation Of Manganese Oxide Minerals, Johannes P. Dreyer
An Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Certain Organic Compounds In The Flotation Of Manganese Oxide Minerals, Johannes P. Dreyer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This thesis has to do with the selective flotation of the manganese oxide minerals in an ore from Charco Redondo Mine, Oriente Province, Cuba. Since a sound knowledge of the nature of the emulsion-induced flotation process of these minerals does not exist, experimental research constitutes the most valuable resource for determining the extent to which different reagents influence the process. Moreover, a correlation of experimental results with the chemical and physical properties of the minerals and reagents can lead to the improvement of existing theories regarding the mechanism of a process.
