Effect Of The Use Of Old Retorts As Grog And Of Zinc Oxide Upon The Properties Of Bodies For The Manufacture Of Retorts, Elmer Gammeter

Masters Theses

"In the fall of 1924 the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce, in cooperation with the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy began an investigation of the properties of raw materials used in the manufacture of retorts for the zinc industry. The investigation proceeded cooperatively until December, 1926, when the Bureau of Mines withdrew from ceramic research. The School then took over and is completing the problem as outlined. The first phase of the investigation had for its object the determination of the properties of the fireclays and body mixtures now in …

A Study Of The Iodine Content Of Representative Missouri Waters, Edmond Carl Hunze

Masters Theses

"Investigations have shown that the iodine content of natural waters bears a direct relationship to the goiter incidence of a given region. A number of the states have analysed [sic] their water for this constituent in the development of this hypothesis. A search of the literature revealed the fact that with the exception of two instances the iodine content of Missouri water had not been determined. Since in certain regions of Missouri there is quite a prevalence of goiter, it was deemed important to determine the iodine content of Missouri waters. It was believed that such information would be a …

The System: Calcium Oxalate - Sulphuric Acid, Joseph Maple Wilson

Masters Theses

"The manufacture of oxalic acid includes as one of the steps in the process, the conversion of calcium oxalate to the desired oxalic acid by treatment with sulphuric acid, and the subsequent crystalization [sic] of the oxalic acid from the solution of it thus made. This investigation has dealt with this conversion step, with regard to the various factors affecting it. The effect of time, acid concentration, temperature, volume of solution, solubility of reaction products, and possible compound formation have all been considered, and from the information thus gained the conclusion has been drawn"--Introduction, page 1.

Skill And Accuracy Test In The Use Of Hand Woodworking Tools, Warren Prescott Dayton

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In view of the fact that the greatest argument in favor of any educational test is its need, one is compelled to keep this in mind while introducing a new test and give this factor first consideration. It is safe to say that any instrumental- ity that will aid the teacher in the understanding of his pupil and his present and potential ability is needed. Truly the various intelligence, aptitude and content tests, now in ever increasing use, have justified their existence upon this foundation of pedigogical need.

Mining Methods At The Higueras District, State Of Coahuila, Mexico, Harry Herbert Hughes

Professional Degree Theses

"The Higueras district, in the State of Coahuila, Mexico, is little known even in Mexico; and it is probably safe to say that not one out of every hundred engineers in the United States has even heart of it. This is easily accounted for by the fact that the district is small and relatively unimportant economically. Also, as one becomes more accustomed to think of mines, such as some of the big copper deposits, with productions running into thousands of tons daily, there is a tendency to pass over the small ones, giving them only a passing thought, if that. …

Fault Areas Of South Eastern Kansas Coal Beds, George Elmer Abernathy

Professional Degree Theses

"The most important coal producing district of the state as well as the oldest in point of age of production is that section of the coal bearing formations located in Crawford and Cherokee county Kansas, which also extends into Barton county, Missouri.

The district has a surface area of about 260 to 300 square miles. The eastern boundary of the district is the outcrop of the lower coal bed known as the Weir-Pittsburg bed. The outcrop follows a more or less irregular line from a few miles north of Columbus, Kansas, and runs in a general northeast direction, passing just …

Recovery Of Carbonate Copper Ore By Means Of Flotation At The Kennecott Copper Corporation Plant, Kennecott, Alaska, George Leo Richert

Professional Degree Theses

"The Kennecott Copper Corporation mines and the adjoining Mother Lode Coalition Co. mine, which the Kennecott Copper Corporation controls and operates as an integral part of their Kennecott, Alaska camp, are situated in the Nizina Mining District, 196 miles inland from Cordova, Alaska, the tide-water shipping point. The first claims were discovered in 1900, and these later became the property of the Kennecott Copper Corporation. The Kennecott holdings consist of 111 mineral claims and the Mother Lode Coalition Co. has 73 claims"--Introduction, page 4.

Electrothermic Dry Distillation Of Zinc, Ira Nathan Goff

Masters Theses

"Although the work described in this thesis cannot be considered as complete, until certain mechanical changes have been made and the furnace operated continuously over a considerable period of time, this electrothermic dry distillation process for the extraction of zinc from ores offers excellent commercial possibilities. The literature has been reviewed, the process that was used at East St. Louis described, and the results of work at the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce, Rolla, Missouri along the line of electrothermic metallurgy of zinc considered"--Summary, page 58.

Rill Stoping In The Butte District, Butte, Montana, Albert Booth Needham

Professional Degree Theses

"Numerous methods of stoping have been used in the mines of the Butte District, Butte, Montana, depending on the shape of the ore bodies, conditions of the walls and presence of fault zones or heavy ground. One of the methods tried out successfully in the past few years is that of using rill stopes, both open and timbered. The ideal conditions for adopting this method of mining require veins with nearly vertical dip so that the ore will slide into the chute. The author attempts to describe the various steps including how the development is done, how the stopes are …
