The Recovery Of Zinc From Butte Mine Waters, Edmond M. Fern
The Recovery Of Zinc From Butte Mine Waters, Edmond M. Fern
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Very little work has been done towards the recovery of zinc from mine water because the zinc content of the water is generally low. As different from copper, which can very easily be replaced by iron in any of its solutions, zinc is very high up in the electro-chemical series and so the few metals above zinc, most of which are rare and hence expensive, cannot be used to replace zinc from its solution.
Mineralogy And Genesis Of The Vermiculite Deposits At Libby, Montana, Raymond Kujawa
Mineralogy And Genesis Of The Vermiculite Deposits At Libby, Montana, Raymond Kujawa
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The problem considered in this report is one of the mineralogy and mode of formation of the extremely pure, large bodies of vermiculite. Mineralogically the ultrabasic intrusive, with which the economic mineral is associated, presents an array of rather unusual minerals. The determination of these minerals, their associations, and the sequence of alteration that lead to the formation of the vermiculite bodies, constitutes the problem.
An Investigation Into The Recovery Of Indium From Fume Residue, Emery J. Turner
An Investigation Into The Recovery Of Indium From Fume Residue, Emery J. Turner
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Several months were required to produce a single gram of indium. Consequently, the industrial history of the metal is extremely short. In view of the unique properties that indium has demonstrated in this short period, it is probable that indium is still in its early stage of development. However, the commercial applications of the metal are well established and indium is now produced on a commercial scale. It is obtainable as the metal or in solution for electroplating.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
With the increasing importance of manganese in the metallurgical fields of today and tomorrow, extensive work along the lines of its successful exploitation has been accomplished by many investigators. Since tie current world situation has shut off most of our supply of high-grade manganese ores from foreign sources, the low-grade domestic deposits have entered the fields of investigation very rapidly.
Helena And Ennis Talc Deposits, Howard N. Anderson
Helena And Ennis Talc Deposits, Howard N. Anderson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purpose of this report is to collect geologic data concerning two Montana talc occurrences at Helena and Ennis and to offer some explanation as to their origin. The two deposits cited are in somewhat similar lithologic settings and both possess the same mineralogical and structural features. Because of this similarity only the Helena deposit is covered in detail.
Stratigraphic Studies Of The Ordovician And Devonian Formations Throughout The Northwest Plains Area, Walter N. Campbell
Stratigraphic Studies Of The Ordovician And Devonian Formations Throughout The Northwest Plains Area, Walter N. Campbell
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
As yet the knowledge of Ordovician and Devonian physiography in this vast northwest region remains almost a complete secret. Very little, in any, work has been done along this line with the exception of those areas where the various formations outcrop.
Mineral Occurences In Certain Pegmatite Dikes In Southwestern Montana, Jacob N. Jovick
Mineral Occurences In Certain Pegmatite Dikes In Southwestern Montana, Jacob N. Jovick
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Pegmatite dikes are rather common in occurrence in parts of southwestern Montana, particularly in a region to the east of the Tobacco Root range 50 to 75 miles southeast of Butte.
Insoluble Residues Of The Lower Mississippian Limestones Of The Madison Group, Fred G. Lines
Insoluble Residues Of The Lower Mississippian Limestones Of The Madison Group, Fred G. Lines
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The correlation of non-fossiliferous drill samples is one of the difficult problems that is encountered in sub-surface stratigraphy. In order to truly correlate a formation, it must have some dis tinctive features and have an areal persistence of these features. These requirements are probably met best by limestone.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Red Lodge and Silver Star chromite deposits of Montana have stimulated much interest during periods of war. The Red Lodge deposit is 25 miles southwest of Red Lodge which is also the nearest railroad point. Several workings are scattered throughout the area, exposing lense-like ore bodies averaging 33% chrome oxide. Silver Star is a much smaller deposit 5 miles west of Silver Star, Montana, which is its nearest railroad point. Lenses of chromite are exposed by pits and trenches, which average approximately 36% chromic oxide.
