On The Breakage Of Rock Drill Steel, Muir Luken Frey Jan 1923

On The Breakage Of Rock Drill Steel, Muir Luken Frey

Masters Theses

"Prior to 1920 there was little attention paid to the general problem of breakage of rock drill steel. Each locality had its problem and the matter was treated as a purely local one, independent upon conditions in that particular section. But in the above-mentioned year, there arose an interest of wider scope, from what causes it is impossible to determine accurately, and the matter is now the subject of a broad investigation in which the users of rock drill steel, the United States Bureau of Mines, and the United States Bureau of Standards are cooperating...There is, to date, no satisfactory …

Effect Of Time And Temperature On Distillation Of Zinc-Lead-Silver Complex Sulphide Concentrates, Ernest Sterling Wheeler Jan 1923

Effect Of Time And Temperature On Distillation Of Zinc-Lead-Silver Complex Sulphide Concentrates, Ernest Sterling Wheeler

Masters Theses

"Accurate information is lacking as to the effect of temperature and time of distillation on the relative proportions of zinc, lead and silver volatilized from complex ores, and while it is evident that the possibility of the commercial treatment of these complex ores has engaged the attention of metallurgists for years, it is one that will still bear investigation even on a small scale"--Statement of Problem, page 5.

High Speed Steel - Its History, Development, Manfacture, Metallography, And Constitution, Including An Extended Bibliography, James Presley Gill Jan 1922

High Speed Steel - Its History, Development, Manfacture, Metallography, And Constitution, Including An Extended Bibliography, James Presley Gill

Masters Theses

"There is no doubt but that the making of Steel was known and practiced by the early Greeks probably several centuries before the birth of Christ. There have been discoveries of pre-historic forges and smelters evidently used for the making of iron and steel and it is certain that implements made of these materials dates back to antiquity. As to the methods of making the steels of antiquity there is little known, but it is quite probable since iron has a strong affinity for carbon that in the forging of the iron it's contact with the carbonaceous fuel would absorb …

The Roasting And Magnetic Separation Of Wisconsin Ores And The Utilization Of The By-Products, Earl George Deutman Jan 1922

The Roasting And Magnetic Separation Of Wisconsin Ores And The Utilization Of The By-Products, Earl George Deutman

Professional Degree Theses

"In the Wisconsin field, the zinc blende is usually found associated with iron sulphide in the form of marcasite. This ore, after being milled and concentrated at the mines, is sent to separating plants for further treatment by roasting and magnetic separation, inasmuch as the mixed blende and marcasite concentrate, owing to the high iron content, is not suitable for the zinc smelter, and the magnetic separation scheme of separation must be resorted to"--page 1.

A Metallographic Study Of Copper Mattes, Edward James Torrence Jan 1922

A Metallographic Study Of Copper Mattes, Edward James Torrence

Bachelors Theses

"The metallographic knowledge of copper mattes or mattes in general for that matter, although extensive, is, to put it mildly, rather diversified. One authority, for instance, believes that mattes are sulphide dissolving compounds there being no eutectiferous series involved. Another believes that the matte constituents enter into a eutectiferous series, compounds being present. Still a third contends that there are no compounds formed but that a simple eutectiferous range exists between certain limits outside of which the end members of the series form solid solutions with each other. In so far as there exists seeming absolute proof for all of …

The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Chamber Process At Isabella, Tennessee, Albert Leo Trent Jan 1921

The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Chamber Process At Isabella, Tennessee, Albert Leo Trent

Professional Degree Theses

"As the regions surrounding the smelteries are growing more densely populated, the companies operating in these districts find if necessary in many cases to take care of their waste gases which are injurious to the surrounding vegetation and thereby avoid many expensive lawsuits and claims from the land owners in the district...The smelters at once began to look around for some method of taking care of their fumes...The companies then began to install the more expensive process of handling their fumes by adding a sulphuric acid plant to their smeltery. This is very expensive to install but is not only …

The Factors Influencing The Price Of Metals On The Metal Market, Thomas Patrick F. Walsh Jan 1920

The Factors Influencing The Price Of Metals On The Metal Market, Thomas Patrick F. Walsh

Masters Theses

"Every year the various engineering and industrial magazines print curves showing the rise and fall of metal stocks throughout the year. to the ordinary reader, these curves are seldom intelligible; he sees the ups and downs; he knows that the prices have risen and fallen; but he rarely knows what causes these changes -- and the curves themselves never tell. This paper tries to remedy this defect; it draws its curves, and, in the light of historical events, which it recounts, tries to determine the causes for the fluctuations in the market. it further places these factors on the curve …

Metallurgical Bookkeeping, John Owen Ambler Jan 1920

Metallurgical Bookkeeping, John Owen Ambler

Professional Degree Theses

"A system of costs and metallurgical records similar to that outlined herein is in use in a number of modern Smelters, and is of interest as showing what information is desirable for proper plant control. From a study of this information, which is usually compiled monthly in such a manner that comparisons may be readily made, it is possible to modify current practice to obtain maximum operating efficiency, and to approximate very closely the benefit that may be derived from changes in and additions to the plant itself and the methods of operation, or in the materials received and treated. …

The Roasting Of Zinc Ores In The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Contact Process, Clarence Eugene Peterson Jan 1919

The Roasting Of Zinc Ores In The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Contact Process, Clarence Eugene Peterson

Professional Degree Theses

"The unprecedented demand for sulphuric acid of the higher strengths (98% and higher) in the manufacture of explosives, has stimulated the zinc smelters to increased efforts in the recovery of their Roaster gases in the form of Sulphuric Acid. The Lead-chamber process is unsuitable, however, in making "strong" acid and the smelters naturally turned to the contact mass or catalytic processes. In the roasting of zinc ores practically all of the sulphur is removed as sulphur dioxide, the disagreeable odor and unmistakable injury to surrounding localities, of which, first led to the adoption of sulphuric acid plants by most zinc …

Graphics And Its Application To The Progress And Cost Analyses Of A House Building Construction Company, Frank Lewis Leonard Wilson Jan 1919

Graphics And Its Application To The Progress And Cost Analyses Of A House Building Construction Company, Frank Lewis Leonard Wilson

Masters Theses

"In the graphical analyses of Stresses in Framed Structures, we study, by means of diagrams, the stability or equilibrium of structures and the relation between the external forces and the stresses created in the members of the frame. The principle involved is that we may represent any force both as to direction and intensity by a straight line, by considering the direction of the line to be identical with that of the force and adjusting its length according to any arbitrary unit adopted for the forces under consideration. By this means we can solve the stresses in framed structures with …

On The Microscopic Determination Of Cadmium In Metallic Zinc, James Presley Gill Jan 1919

On The Microscopic Determination Of Cadmium In Metallic Zinc, James Presley Gill

Professional Degree Theses

"A quick and accurate determination of Cadmium in Metallic Zinc by all ordinary chemical methods now in use, so far as the writer has been able to ascertain is at best only approximate. However, longer methods and very delicate ones for determining Cadmium are in use that are very accurate, but these methods are so long and so delicate that very few commercial laboratories care to use them. Now, it has been known for some time that Zinc and Cadmium do not form an alloy which when in the solid exist either as a solution or a compound. They do …

Determination Of Critical Point Of Concentrating Tables On Arizona Copper Ore, J. C. Finagin Jr., W. C. Hogoboom Jan 1918

Determination Of Critical Point Of Concentrating Tables On Arizona Copper Ore, J. C. Finagin Jr., W. C. Hogoboom

Professional Degree Theses

"In the concentration of an ore by means of concentrating tables, there is a critical point in sizing beyond which the valuable minerals can not be recovered. Theoretically, the lighter gangue is washed over the side of' the table and the heavier mineral, regardless of size, is recoverable at the end, these concentrates being graded from coarse to fine sizes up the slope of the table. In practice, however, the finer sizes of concentrates are found mixed with the middlings and tailings, as indicated by the arrows on the diagram of the concentrating table shown below. The problem is to …

Treatment Of A Complex Ore, Earl Burdette Weiberg, Hugo Edward Koch Jan 1916

Treatment Of A Complex Ore, Earl Burdette Weiberg, Hugo Edward Koch

Bachelors Theses

"Many complex ores are found in the West, which contain zinc in large quantities together with lead, copper, gold, and silver in sufficient amounts to yield a good profit could they be separated from the zinc economically, If such an ore were sent to the smelter to be treated in a blast furnace for the recovery of lead, copper, gold, and silver the smelter would penalize the shipper for all zinc over ten percent. On the other hand if the ore were sent to a zinc smelter for direct treatment there would be a penalty for excess lead present, and …

Oils And Flotation, Clarence Eugene Peterson, Charles Yancey Clayton Jan 1916

Oils And Flotation, Clarence Eugene Peterson, Charles Yancey Clayton

Bachelors Theses

"We know that the sulphides, or minerals with a metallic lustre, can be floated either with or without oil and that the carbonates, silicates, etc., cannot be floated so readily. Why do certain oils have the power of selecting certain minerals? Why do certain oils produce froth? Why do certain oils give a watery froth? Why do some give an ephemeral froth and others a tough one? Of the thousands of oils known, only a few classes have found successful application in this new process...This leads us to the question, what property or combination of properties make oils valuable as …

The Thermal Conductivity Of Refractories, Boyd Dudley Jr. Jan 1915

The Thermal Conductivity Of Refractories, Boyd Dudley Jr.

Professional Degree Theses

"The usefulness of correct data in regard to the thermal conductivity of refractories and other materials used in the construction of metallurgical and industrial furnaces is quite generally recognized. Numerous investigations of this property of refractories have been conducted, and in many cases the published data of different investigators are somewhat conflicting. This is particularly true of figures pertaining to materials intended for use at high temperatures, and it is with such materials that the metallurgist is mot interested. The difficulties in the way of precise determinations of thermal conductivities at elevated temperatures are numerous, and it is not particularly …

Determination Of Critical Point Of Concentrating Tables On Flat River Ore, J. C. Finagin Jr., W. C. Hogoboom

Bachelors Theses

"In concentrating any ore on tables there is, theoretically, a critical point in sizing, beyond which it can not be expected to recover the valuable minerals; that is, valuable mineral finer than a certain size will go with the gangue and be lost. for instance, in the diagram of the Wilfley Table shown, the concentrates grade from coarse to fine as indicated, but instead of grading on down into very fine sizes farther up the table these finer sizes are found mixed with the middlings, tailings and slimes as indicated by the arrows. The problem is to determine the critical …
