The Presence Of Rhenium In Montana Manganese Ores., Henry E. Swanson May 1937

The Presence Of Rhenium In Montana Manganese Ores., Henry E. Swanson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Rhenium properties offer many interesting possibilities, therefore any ores containing rhenium would be of considerable value. Its close relationship to manganese in the periodic table led to the belief that manganese ores would be an excellent place to search for the metal. Investigation of the literature of rhenium revealed that no ore was known to contain more than 0.001 per cent of rhenium.


The Electroplating Of Cadmium From Sulfate Solutions, Lewis S. Prater May 1937

The Electroplating Of Cadmium From Sulfate Solutions, Lewis S. Prater

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It has been proven that cadmium forms a very satisfactory plate on steel, which has to withstand severe corrosion, especially the corrosion of sea water and spray. The metal is now successfully plated electrolytically from cyanide solutions, but wherever work is carried on with cyanide, there is great danger of poisoning to the workers.


The Electrowinning Of Copper From Roasted Sulphides, Thomas B. Linn May 1937

The Electrowinning Of Copper From Roasted Sulphides, Thomas B. Linn

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A hydrometallurgical process for the recovery of copper from flotation concentrates has long been conĀ­sidered an attractive possibility. The object of such a method is to produce electrolytic copper without resorting to expensive matte smelting and converting.


Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brass, D. H. Swank May 1937

Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brass, D. H. Swank

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this research was to continue the work of Thomas Parker, who worked on the recovery of copper and zinc from brass during the school year l934 - 1935. Since there is such a wide variety of brasses made with usually a third alloying constituent, remeltĀ­ed scrap is suitable only for castings of wide tolerance in specifications.
