It is the purpose of this investigation to discover, if possible, first, the maximum carrying power of water when transporting chert; second, to find the relation existing between the velocities of different sized chert"--Introduction, page 1.

Geology In The Vicinity Of Palmer, Mo., Alfred Nicks Detweiler, John Kavanaugh Forman

Bachelors Theses

"This area has been of minor importance in the production of ore on a commercial scale, the ore mined being residual in clay in openings occuring sic in dolomite and with chert, all near the surface, the mining being done by individuals who felt disposed to sink a shaft on some supposedly mineralized spot in the hope of uncovering a few tons or ore. Mining operations have been carried on intermittently for more than a century, so we are told, the early miners breaking the rock by first heating it with a wood fire, and then suddenly cooling it with …

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this paper is to investigate a means of supplying the City of Rolla with better water at a reasonable a price as possible. The elevation and distance of the supply from the city were very important factors,also the most economical position for the dam was to be considered. After examining several drainage basins with the above purposes in mind we selected one just west of the City on account of its convenience and high elevation. The watershed includes an area of ever eight hundred acres and is divided into two parts which come together in a narrow …

Radiation Losses In Metallurgical Furnaces, Frank Richard Loveridge

Bachelors Theses

"The conduction and radiation of heat are of great importance in metallurgy. Metallurgical operations require, in the great majority of cases, temperatures above those of normal atmospheric conditions. Loss of heat is loss of dollars. Furnaces of all kinds allow to pass their walls a greater or less amount of heat, i.e. heat is lost by conduction and by radiation. This heat is often spoken of as radiation loss. It is due to the heat being conducted from the inside to the outside of the furnace. The materials of construction, and manner of building the furnace has much to do …

A Comparison Of The Solvents Used In The Hydrometallurgy Of Silver, Simon Jochamowitz, Enrique Cavazos

Bachelors Theses

"Potassium cyanide solutions, hyposulphite of soda solutions, and a mixture called the Russell solution, are the solvents most used to win silver from its ores. We are not the first to attempt comparisons of the solvent powers of the different solutions named. It is difficult, at least we have found it difficult, to find tabulated, a comparison of the various solvents from the points of view of speed of action, of consumption of reagents, of suitability of one or another to a given type of ore"--page 1.

The Volatilization And Absorption Of Silver Chloride, Edgar Joseph Wolf, Victoriano Elicano

Bachelors Theses

"The purpose of this thesis was to study the relation of the loss of silver chloride to such variables as the temperature, as the type of gangue, as the method of carrying on the roast; to determine what becomes of the silver lost and to attempt to recover it. In our work we consider something seemingly overlooked by many, if not all of the workers; namely, that there is a great loss of silver chloride due to absorption, as well as to volatilization. Volatilization has been the hobby of most of the experimeters. We hope to show as a part …

A Study Of The Losses Of Gold During Cupellation In The Presence Of Tellurium, George Albert Easley, Carl Winthrop Keniston

Bachelors Theses

"It is generally accepted that the presence, in the lead button, of a small amount of tellurium causes, during cupellation, a loss of gold. Little, however, is known as to the loss, when tellurium is present, due to variation in the temperature of cupellation...Our work was carried on with the intention of determining the loss of gold, due to temperature in the presence of known amount of tellurium and to compare this loss with that caused by the temperature alone. Has temperature the same, a greater, or a less effect on the loss of gold during cupellation when tellurium is …

A Study Of The Settlement Of Slimes, William Simpson Hall, James Crawford Compton

Bachelors Theses

"The purpose of this thesis, as originally planned, was to determine the effect produced by certain substances called electrolytes upon the mill product known as "slimes". The subject presented an ever increasing number of new problems as it progressed and some work along the line of several of these branches is embodied in the following pages. Reports of investigation and behavior of slimes when treated for quick settlement are few and unsatisfactory. Our results may prove nothing already unknown, but the fact that so little data is easily accesible sic has been the motive for this thesis"--Preface, page 1.

A Method Of Obtaining Lead Concentrates From The Slimes Of The St. Joseph Lead Mill, Lewis Alfred Delano

Professional Degree Theses

"In the concentrating of lead ores, the water used in the mills carries the tailings from the jigs and tables to chatt tanks. Here the chatts and sands settle while the greater part of the water overflows and enters a sluice or slimes branch to the settling ponds. This overflow water carries with it a great deal of float lead. It is impossible to catch this lead in the mill on moving machinery without using too much power and mill space to effect a profitable saving. Ninety percent of this float will pass through a 140 mesh sieve. there will …

The Relation Of The Composition Of A Mineral To Its Properties, Edwin Phelps Murray

Professional Degree Theses

"The attempt has been made to bring together and to classify the properties of minerals and to show that there is some simple qualitative relation between their composition and physical properties, or in other words, to show that minerals containing different percentages of a certain element will all have similar properties dependent upon the proportion of that element. Further investigation of this subject would be in determining the modifying influence of crystal form"--page 1.

Minerals And Their Environment Of Formation, Deforrest Don

Bachelors Theses

"The history of mineralogy began with the development of mining and the use of certain minerals as useful products, such as lime, pigments and precious stones. In order to know how to distinguish these minerals when found and where they were likely to found, it was necessary to study the nature, properties and the modes of occurrence. In order to determine all these properties, it was necessary to classify and compare them with the purpose of ascertaining how they resemble each other, and how they differ"--page 1.
