Some Physical And Chemical Properties Of Loess Deposits In The Lower Mississippi Valley., Ellis Louis Krinitzsky

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study presents a general picture of loess in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Loess is recognized as unstratified, calcareous, slightly plastic, porous loam with an average grain size distribution between 0.05 and 0.01mm. diameter. Materials meeting this definition but lacking in calcium carbonate are termed "leached loess" when in association with loess and "brown loam" when not in association with loess.

Loess has been found to occur chiefly as pseudo-anticlinal caps on hills. It is mapped as occurring within an area averaging 10 to 15 miles in width extending from southern Illinois southward along the eastern walls of the Lower …

The original smelter, known as the Upper Works smelter, was located on the north side of the Warm Springs Creek, just 2 miles east of the city of Anaconda and 26 miles from the city of Butte. By the year 1894 this smelter had a capacity of 500 tons of ore a day.

The Species Concept: A Semantic Review, Benjamin H. Burma

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

In some respects, it is extremely unfortunate that names are ever attached either to ideas or objects. The false attachment of names to ideas or objects similar but not identical with the original can work harm far exceeding the benefits conferred by having a convenient label. The name "species" has come to such a state. As we shall see, a species, be it plant or animal, is a fiction, a mental construct without objective existence. Animal, and plant, lines of descent exist in a four-dimensional continuum. To set up species in this continuous line of descent, we must chop it …

The Vanadium Plant Of The Anaconda Reduction Works, Tom Liss

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

No complete history of mining and smelting will ever be written that does not include a major discussion of the Butte district. The colorful tale of this area plays a major role in the interesting stories of mining. In the fields of mining methods, labor relations end financial manipulations, the Butte area has set a standard.

An Investigation Of The Radioactivity Of Oilwell Drilling Fluid, With Depth, Of Wells In The Berland Field Of Rooks County, Milford W. Johnston

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

In reviewing the foregoing literature and in consideration of the very important place of the state of Kansas in the nation's production of petroleum, it was thought that possibly a contribution might be made to the general subject of geophysical prospecting for oil by the adoption and execution of the problem proposed by the title of this thesis. Since a similar but more scattered study of this problem had been previously made by Lippert with the use of an electroscope, it was considered worth-while to repeat the electroscopic observations together with Geiger-Mueller Counter observations on a new series of wells …

The Christensen Sillimanite Deposit Southeast Of Dillon, Montana, Everett O. Bracken

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The minerals sillimanite, kyanite, andalusite, dumortierite, and topaz comprise a group of minerals whose high alumina content and physical properties are particularly desirable in the manufacture of refractory products. Sillimanite is the least plentiful of the minerals of this group, and for this reason it is not used extensively at the present time. However, it would be very desirable to the refractory industry if a suitable domestic source of supply could be established.

A Study Of The Differential Seperation Of Galena And Sphalerite, Wilfred E. Nagel

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The smelting of complex lead ores is a difficult operation, especially when they contain considerable amounts of iron and zinc. When these ores are smelted, all of the zinc, which is valuable and well worth recovering, goes into the slag. With the advent of the flotation processes, and the ability of these processes to concentrate the lead and zinc minerals into separate products, the smelting of complex lead ores was to a great extent simplified.

A Mineral Dressing And Economic Study Of A Complex Arsenical Ore, Luigi D. Piana

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The factors that influence the choice of a method for treat­ment of an ore comprise the technical and economic limitations and advantages, derived in detail and balanced according to the exigencies of the particular situation.

Separation Of Cadmium From Zinc In The Purification Step Of The Leaching Cycle, L. C. Powell

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect of the factors listed previously by conducting a series of tests that will indicate the ex­tent to which the purification is influenced by time, temperature, zinc oust size, zinc dust quantity, iron concentration, two stage precipitation, and aeration.

An Investigation Of The Precipitation Of Cobalt With Zinc Dust, Lyle Hallberg

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Cobalt, as well as copper, cadmium, and other impurities, is removed by selective precipitation with zinc during the zinc electrolyte purification cycle, and the purification residue may be treated by a Cadmium Plant for the recovery of cadmium.

Construction And Operation Of A Laboaratory Size Thum Cell, Raymond Dugdale

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Electrolytic silver refining was not perfected until the end of the nineteenth century. During the process of development, two systems of silver refining have come into prominence: the Moebius and the Thum types.

An Investigation Of Silicon Impregnation Of Low-Carbon Steels, Thomas E. Groce

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A problem of metallurgy during the last part of the Nineteenth and the early Twentieth Century, and one that stood very near the front, was investigations of methods to produce a non-corrosive surface on iron and steel without affecting the physical properties of these base metals.

A Study Of The Transformation Of A Twenty-Eight Per Cent Tin Bronze, Perry A. Boukind

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In this investigation, attention is directed to the phases covered by a 28 per cent tin alloy. When the investigation was started, consideration was given to the possibility of making a Time - Temperature - Transformation curve for this parti­cular alloy. As the work progressed and further research was carried on, this phase of the work was abandoned.

Chromizing Of Steels, Edward Buchanan

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In recent years, considerable thought and study have been given to the use of chromized articles in place of chromium stainless steel articles. The present extensive application of chromizing, indeed, helps greatly to conserve this valuable metal.

Caustic Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Chester Freshour

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Chromite is the most important ore used for the production of chromium and chromium alloys. At present, the domestic production is insignificant as compared with the amount of chromite consumed in the United States.

An Investigation Into The Precipitation Of Copper From Mine Water, Using Sulfur Dioxide To Reduce The Ferric Ion Content, David S. Gleason

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The experiments which were preformed showed that sulfur dioxide would reduce the ferric ion content of the mine waters to a very low figure. The reduction in the ferric ion content would improve the efficiency of the precipitation process, and also increase the recovery of copper.

Application Of The Electric Furnace To The Melting Of Cathode Copper At The Tacoma Smelter, Alvin H. Nelson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the field of copper metallurgy, the major chang­es effected in the original metallurgical scheme have been based largely upon the lowering in grade of copper ores, and the more particular demands of the fabricators of the metal. The former trend fostered the development of mineral beneficiation, which in turn caused the con­version from blast furnace to reverberatory furnace smelting.

The Characteristics Of The Electrolyte In The Series System Of Electrolytic Copper Refining, Carl W. Howald Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Almost everyone is familiar with the tremendous importance of copper in our everyday life. One of the pro­perties of copper which determines its great usefulness to mankind is its electrical conductivity. This property alone has more to do with the prominence of copper among useful metals then does any other.

The Casting Of Anodes For The Series System Of Electrolytic Copper Refining, Robert R. Kupfer

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The electrolytic refining process, while usually considered an auxiliary process used in conjunction with pyrometallurgical extraction, deserves a special niche in the complex metallurgy of copper. The development of electrolytic copper refining, for example, is largely responsible for the prominence of the electrical industry. Conversely, it could be stated that the electrical industry played an important part in the development of the copper industry.

Aluminum - Bronze Compacts And Their Possible Use As A Bearing Material, Donald J. Mcmaster

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the modern aspect of powder metallurgy, the first use of a sintering process was in making filaments for incandescent electric lamps.In the short while from the day of Edison to the pres­ent, the science of working with metal powders has advanced by leaps and bounds.

The Psilomelane Mineral Of The Butte District, Montana, Logan E. Davis

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

During the last few years a great deal of research has been done in connection with the black manganese oxide minerals. This is especially true of the so called mineral psilomelane. It has been proven without a doubt that the name psilomelane has been used in the past to include a great variety of similar black manganese oxide minerals. By the use of X-ray equipment these minerals have been definitely identified.

An Isopach Map And A Discussion Of The Cambrian Strata In The Central Cordilleran Area, Rudi Forhan

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In the past few years intensive studies have been going on concerning Cambrian formations as a locale for orebodies. Many of the dolomites and limestones of southwestern Montana are susceptible to replacement by mineralizing solutions, especially when overlain by a rather impervious layer of shale, as is the Pilgrim limestone of Upper Cambrian time.
