A Study Of The Products Of The Reaction Between Stannous And Arsenate Ions In Silicic Acid Gels, Frank K. Thompson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The fact that characteristic crystalline products result upon the diffusion of arsenate ions into silicic acid gel which has been impregnated with stannous ions has been known by the Pacific Chemistry Department for some time. The optimum conditions with regards to heat and hydrogen ion concentration have been determined. The purpose of this investigation was to study the products of the reaction. First to determine whether or not the silicic acid itself combined with the stannous and arsenate. ions in the formation of the crystalline product, and second to determine its chemical composition.

Microscopic Study Of Montana Silver Ores., Edwin Johnson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

A microscopic investigation of the Montana silver minerals was conducted. This study consisted mainly of identifying the silver and silver-bearing minerals and of determining their paragenetic rela­tionships. The increasing amount of research in which the reflecting microscope is employed is evidence of the great value of this method of approach in the solution of problems of paragenesis of the opaque minerals.

Sensitivity Of Curcumin As An Organic Reagent In Testing For Beryllium, James W. Bookhamer

Bachelors’ Theses

For many years the analytical chemist avoided by design or more probably by accident the general use of organic chemicals in his work. Some few of them he accepted as a matter of course, and perhaps without much thought of their organic nature. In qualitative analysis he used chloroform as a solvent in testing for bromine and iodine. A few indicators were in common use, but organic chemicals were used but little in analytical work. It was not until the twentieth century that their use in analytical procedures received any worthwhile attention. Since then they have rapidly come to the …

The Production Of Oxalic, Citric, And Gluconic Acids From Plantation Molasses, John A. Ruth

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This research was undertaken for the purpose of developing a process for producing citric and gluconic acids from plantation molasses.

There is an evident need for such a process. At the present time, these acids are being produced by processes in which refined sugar is the principal raw material. If molasses could be used in place of refined sugar, the cost of raw materials would be reduced by approximately ninety percent. In addition, a waste product would be utilized.

The scope of this problem is very broad. Its solution will involve the solving of many problems of widely varying natures. …

A Study Of The Cooling Curve Of Several Waxes And Various Binary Mixtures Of These Waxes, Casimir A. Smyk

Bachelors’ Theses

A cooling curve may be defined as a graphic representation of the relationship which exists in the elapse of time and temperature of a substance surrounded by a medium of a temperature lower than itself. There is no heat added to the substance and the only heat taken away from the substance is by means of the surrounding medium. It is time plotted against temperature. Time on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis. Many methods have been mentioned for the determination of purity and identification of a wax. But the methods are not standardized because of the length and …

The Decomposition Of Mixed Ethers And A Quantitative Scheme For The Determination Of A Quaternary Mixture Of Alcohols And Iodides, Ellsworth H. Stock

Bachelors’ Theses

To introduce some recent advances covering the decomposition of mixed ethers and the quantitative scheme for quaternary mixtures of alcohols and iodides is the privilege and responsibility of this paper. The first part of the paper deals with the oxidation, and quantitative determination of binary mixtures of alcohols. The last half covers the separation of the alcohols from the iodides, the decomposition of the mixed ethers, and the complete outline for determining the amount of alcohols resulting from the decomposition. Tables, graphs, and drawings have been included in the text, because the complete understanding of the method depends to some …

A Study Of Ball Mills, Robert Lee Kidd

Masters Theses

"The study of the ball mill is very complicated, due to the varying conditions existing in the mill. Some of these conditions are: Size of grinding media, size of feed, moisture content, and speed with its effect on the paths of the grinding media. A brief history of fine grinding will first be outlines, after which some of the theories of ball milling will be stated. Then the paths of the grinding media will be given some attention, and a new point of view about the trajectory will be brought out"--Introduction, page 2.

The Evaporation Of Pyroxylin Solvents And Non-Solvents And The Effect Of Dissolved Pyroxylin On Various Types Of Evaporation Curves, Herbert Heinrich

Bachelors’ Theses

In 1833 Braconnot described a body which he called Xyloidine. This material was obtained by the action of nitric acid on starch. In 1838 Pelonze produced a similar body by treating paper with nitric acid. Although these experiments were conducted several years before those of Soh8nbein, yet we give Schonbein the honor of priority because of bis extensive studies on the new compound "ex­plosive cotton wool". The material was produced by the combined action of nitric and sulphuric acids on cellulose. A patent was granted to him in the United States December 5, 1846, but little attention was paid to …

The Water Supply Of The City Of Milwaukee With Experimental Data, William K. Stumpf

Bachelors’ Theses

All mankind, whether the wandering savage, the isolated pioneer, or the dweller in the congested city, requires a constant supply of water for his needs. This fact is attested to in all the civilizations of the past, and if we go back to biblical times, or to the days of ancient Greece and Rome, we read of the famous wells and aqueducts, from which the inhabitants derived their supplies.

The Action Of Tan Bark In The Manufacture Of White Lead By The Old Dutch Process, Elmer List

Masters Theses

"This investigation was undertaken because there is very little definite information in print, regarding the micro-organisms which play such an important part in the Old Dutch Process for manufacturing white lead. The statements concerning this process are very general in character. For instance, one book states, "The first action which goes on is to convert blue lead into basic acetate of lead. This is brought about by the heat of the fermenting tan, causing the evolution of acetic acid from the liquid of the pots." Albert H. Hooker in a little treatise on white lead says: "As it stands now, …

Characteristics Of Bacillus Influenzae, Georgena Josephine Clarke

Masters Theses

"This organism is classed under the type of haemoglobinophilic bacteria, due to the fact that its growth is restricted to a special medium containing haemoglibin [sic]. It is a very small bacillus which in the sputum tends to show itself in aggregations, especially centering about other organisms, M. tetragenus in particular"--page 3.

Bulletin No. 114 - The Movement Of Nitric Nitrogen In Soil And Its Relation To "Nitrogen Fixation", Robert Stewart, J. E. Greaves

UAES Bulletins

In the spring of 1903, we commenced at the Utah Experiment Station a series of experiments, the purpose of which was to study the development and movement of nitrates in irrigated soil. The work was so outlined that it should give some very definite results, both as to the influence of water and the plant, upon the nitric nitrogen content of the soil.

Bulletin No. 106 - A Study Of The Production And Movement Of Nitric Nitrogen In An Irrigated Soil, Robert Stewart, J. E. Greaves

UAES Bulletins

The problem of maintaining the nitrogen content in our agricultural soils is one of vital importance to the development of a permanent system of agriculture. Any investigation, therefore, which tends to throw any light on the conditions which are necessary for maintaining the maximum supply of nitrogen in our soils needs no apology for its institution.

The Fixed Stars, John F. Downey

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The object of this paper is to give, in a popular form, a brief review of what is known about the fixed stars. Although they have always been objects of interest, have guided the mariner over trackless seas, arid have inspired many sublime and noble thoughts, yet, until a comparatively recent date, only three things were known about them; viz., that they retain (approximately) their ·relative positions, that they are self luminous, and that they are very far away.
