A Preliminary Investigation Of The Hydrometallurgy Of Philipsburg Manganese, W. L. Goodman May 1946

A Preliminary Investigation Of The Hydrometallurgy Of Philipsburg Manganese, W. L. Goodman

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the past the steel industry of the United States has depended almost wholly on imports for its supplies of manganese. Although it is well known that there are enormous deposits of low grade manganese ore in the United States the production of substantial amounts of ferro-grade mater­ial from domestic sources presents a field for con­structive and practical research.

The Solubility Of Zinc Ethyl Xanthate In Water, Thomas M. Mckenzie Oct 1944

The Solubility Of Zinc Ethyl Xanthate In Water, Thomas M. Mckenzie

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A determination of the solubility of zinc ethyl xanthate was attempted by measuring the refractive index of a saturated solution of that salt. The small increment in refractive index effected by adding zinc ethyl xanthate to water in saturation quantities rendered measurements difficult and of dubious accuracy.

The Electrodeposition Of Chromium From Trivalent Salt Solutions, Bahri Ersoz May 1943

The Electrodeposition Of Chromium From Trivalent Salt Solutions, Bahri Ersoz

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The enormous number of previous experiments and researches for the improvement of the commercial chromic acid bath, did not succeed even in the partial elimination of any one of the disadvantages of chromic acid bath. This led the author to believe that the poor performance is an inherent quality of the chromic acid bath, and is due to the fact that the deposition occurs from the higher state of oxidation.

The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy May 1943

The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Many attempts have been made to improve iron and steel and their alloys by the addition of boron. The re­sults obtained were not encouraging for the reason that the amount of boron used, generally from 0.2 to 2.0 per cent is altogether too high. This percentage of boron ren­ders the product hard and brittle and of late the experiments with boron in this connection have been practically abandoned.

An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson May 1943

An Attempt To Increase The Permeability And Porosity Of The Cut Bank Oil Sand By Treatment With Various Reagents, Donald H. Johnson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation was to attempt to find some means of increasing the effective porosity and permeabil­ity of the producing sands of the Cut Bank Oil Field, with the hope that thereby the ultimate recovery of petroleum from this field may be increased. Although the percentage increase in production thus effected would undoubtedly be small, it would represent a substantial volume of petroleum in view of the great quantity of oil and gas present in this field.
