A Study Of The Transparency Of Paraffin Wax, Gordon B. Smith

Bachelors’ Theses

The problem of wax transparency with which this thesis is concerned interested the author as a result of past experience with a bakery firm. The practical application of a positive solution to this problem would be as a competitor of cellophane, that is, transparent paraffin used for commercial wax paper would combine the quality of keeping bakery goods fresh with the display value of cellophane.

A Study Of The Bright Nickel Producing Properties Of Tergitol Penetrant 4, Maurice F. Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

For many years, it has been known in the plating industry that certain metal baths were affected when materials called ’'addition agents” were added. The addition agents were usually organic and had high molecular weights. Nickel is especially sensitive to the presence of such foreign substances, a very bright deposit being obtained upon the addition of small amounts of gum, gelatin, glue, gum tragacanth, gum arabic and similar materials. These substances have, however, proved unsatisfactory because of difficulty of control and because of decomposition of the agent.

In the past ten years a new type of bright nickel bath has …

Activity Of Papain On Gelatin Mixtures, Edward J. Ruschmann

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the Marquette chemical laboratories under the direction and supervision of Dr. John R. Koch, professor and head of the Chemistry Department, many noteworthy advances in enzyme chemistry have been achieved. A new type all glass, single unit viscometer was developed and perfected by Koch and now is the basis of the study of enzyme activity by viscometric methods. The use of this viscometer is not limited solely to work in these laboratories but has also been used with great success in bating and brewing.

The Conversion Of Certain Amino Acids To Carbohydrate In Normal Animals, Bergere Alfred Kenney

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

Among the earliest problems which interested the physiological chemist was that of the possibility of an interconversion of the major types of food-stuffs. That this conversion actually does take place in the case of carbohydrates changing to fats has been apparent, ever since Man began to fatten his domestic animals on a starchy diet. However, interconversion of the other types, such as that of fats to carbohydrates and proteins, or carbohydrates to proteins, and of proteins to carbohydrates and fats, is not so obvious, and even now, after many years of experimen­tation, the answer to the question is far from …

A Study Of The Effect Of Various Organic Compounds Upon The Corrosion Resistance Of Stainless Steel In Sulfuric Acid, Cyril J. Stockhausen

Bachelors’ Theses

Ever since the use of metals become a vital part of modern living, much has "been written about corrosion and its prevention. With regard to corrosion prevention by means of absorbed films, most of the study has "been restricted to experimentation either with commercial compounds of unknown composition or complex amines and sulfonates with little attention paid to a comparison of different polar groupings and the influence of metallic structure.

Concrete And Cement Surface Coatings, Gabriel J. Popovich

Bachelors’ Theses

It has been with difficulty that precise information of any kind regarding the surface coating of concrete and cement finishes had been found. In fact, there was limited information to be found after 1930. Having but a short time to conduct any research, it was impossible to delve too deeply into this branch of the thesis. It is sincerely hoped that in the very near future a more thorough, extensive and comprehensive study can be made on this subject. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the best composition of concrete and the best surface coating for it and …

A Study Of The Amino Nitrogen In Various Gelatins By Means Of The Ninhydrin Reaction, Wilma Jane Thrush

Bachelors’ Theses

Experimental work and study has shown that the activity figures measuring the effects of proteolytic enzymes, such as, pepsin, trypsin, and papain are not the same for the various gelatins used as substrates.

An Experimental Study Of The Destruction Distillation Of Corn Cobs, Wendall Lee Perry

Bachelors’ Theses

The utilization of waste products is daily becoming more and more important. It has always been a big problem of industry to utilize its waste material; and as a result, limitless effort has been spent in the attempt to stress utility and economy in all forms of production. Under ordinary circumstances, the utilization of many waste products has been disregarded because of the large expense involved; but in critical times such as the present, expense becomes a secondary issue, and the actual production of necessary material becomes foremost. It is true that the waste connected with large industries is very …

The Effect Of Time, Temperature, And Pressure On The Hydrogenation Of A Mixture Of Linoleic And Oleic Acids, Gordon S. Wepfer

Bachelors’ Theses

During the past few years interest and experimentation in the field of hydrogenation of different fats and oils has increased enormously. Strides made in the oil-hardening industry have surpassed all expectations. These advances were brought about by simplifying old methods and creating new ones. The probable reasons for this impetus in research is due to the fact that unexpected uses for hydrogenated oils and fats have been found and will continue to be found. With the increase in use of these products the market for them will also increase. Recently, the resin industries have produced useful products by condensing pure …

The Study Of The Physical And Chemical Factors Influencing The Plankton In The Menomonee River, Hermoise Katz

Bachelors’ Theses

The reasons for the choice of this study are several in number. Previous collecting trips had shown to some extent the relatively high productivity of organic life in this stream. From superficial external evidence, however, it seemed likely that the stream should contain some degree of pollution. The contradictory nature of these two observations called for furthur investigation. Then too, the nearness of the location of the Menomonee River to Marquette University contributed to the facility of such an investigation, and also pointed to the possibility that such a survey might be of some use to the Department of Biology. …

A Study Of Resins From Carbohydrates, Edward F. Sullivan

Bachelors’ Theses

The availability of large amounts of carbohydrates, and the need in the past years of larger markets for the available supplies of sugar have lead a number of sugar companies to investigate the possibilities of synthetic resins from carbohydrates. Although in the last ten or twelve years, a number of steps have been taken in the investigation of sugar resins, the information available has been restricted to a few patents. Consequently, information on the chemistry of the problem has been neglected. Thus, this work, for the most part, covers partially the possibilities of producing alkyd resins from saccharides, as well …

Solubilities Of Glycerides, Alois L. Wagner

Bachelors’ Theses

The mono, di, and triglycerides have many uses in industry; each of these glycerides has a specific purpose, if not directly, then as an intermediary compound .in the synthesis of a glycerol derivative. In order to obtain the highest efficiency in a synthesis, or as a matter of fact, in any phase of chemistry, the production of a homogeneous result demands the use of pure uniform constituents.

The Effects Of A Carbohydrate Deficient Diet On The Mouse, Walter Rudolph Sala

Bachelors’ Theses

Deficient diets have been used extensively as the basis for zoological experiments concerning the metabolism, and dietary requirements of individual animals. The majority of this work has been carried on with the rat as the subject, and resulting external physical variations as the experimental aim. The writer used the mouse as his subject, but, since no literature was available concerning this animal, a few similar experiments performed on the rat will be cited.

The Preparation Of Some Typical Organoboron Compounds, Glen David Barbaras

Bachelors’ Theses

Organoboron compounds have long been known, the first being prepared by Frankland as early as 1862. No particular interest in these compounds was aroused, how ever, because of the difficulty and expense of their preparation as well as their extreme instability. From time to time further attempts at their preparation were made and a few reactions were ob­ served. With the rise of modern electronic theories of chemical combination, however, organoboron compounds were discov­ered to exhibit properties and undergo reactions which would substantiate these theories. Consequently, since 1936 possi­bly over a hundred of these compounds of many different types have …

Melting Point Studies Of Binary Mixtures Of Barbowax 4000 And 1500 And Various Waxes In An Air Chamber, Arnold P. Feider

Bachelors’ Theses

The Corrosive Effect Of Sodium Acid Sulfite Solution Upon Stainless Steel As Compared With Carbon Steel And Cast Iron, Arthur John Haug

Bachelors’ Theses

Tilghman, in 1866, discovered the fundamental principle of the sulfite process - the treatment of wood with a solution of sulfur dioxide gas in water, with the addition of an alkaline bisulfite. However, he was un­able to pursue this discovery because of the difficulty of obtaining acid resisting materials.

Studies On The Quantitative Analysis Of Rhenium And Its Occurrence In The Products Of Molybdenite Processing, Walter Keith Dean

Masters Theses

"There is at the present time no commercially developed source of the metal rhenium in the United States. Since this metal is known to exist in molybdenite, it was felt that a study of the products of the metallurgical processing of this mineral might reveal a source of rhenium that could e developed. The Climax Molybdenum Co. provided a number of samples from their smelter at Langloth, Pennsylvania. Although an improved method for the quantitative estimation of rhenium was recently published, its accuracy was not high and the procedure exacting and time-consuming. These combined factors led to the selection of …
