The Electrolysis Of Potassium Lead Tartrate Solutions, Reginald Scott Dean

Bachelors Theses

"Kahlenberg and Hillyer have shown that lead oxide (PbO) dissolves in neutral potassium tartrate to form a strongly alkaline solution in which the ratio of potassium to lead is 1:1. Since this solution shows a very low concentration of lead ion it might be expected to give a smooth and adherent cathode deposit. The purpose of this thesis is to determine its possible applicability as a refining electrolyte"--page 1.

The Relation Of The Composition Of Petroleum To Its Origin And Occurrence, John Warder Shotwell

Bachelors Theses

"Petroleum Is a mixture of hydrocarbons. It is a liquid varying from colorless, through yellow and brown to black. It varies from 1.0 to 0.80 in specific gravity, which corresponds to 10° to 45° Beaume. It varies widely in physical properties, such as viscosity, ignition point, polarization of light, etc. Chemically it is composed essentially of carbon and hydrogen, but usually contains impurities such as sulphur and nitrogen. The carbon and hydrogen combine with each other to form certain series, or "chains"--Chemical and Physical Nature, page 1.

The Electro Deposition Of Lead In Sugar And Acetate Solutions, Abe Lew Kaplan

Bachelors Theses

"The experiments, while hardly sufficiently numerous, seemed to indicate that sugars do not have a good effect on cathodic lead deposits"--Conclusion, page 14.

A Comparison Of Missouri Sandstones, Llewelyn Lodwick

Bachelors Theses

"Because of the scarcity of fossils in sandstones, the ages of these stones are difficult to determine except by the fossil bearing rocks either above or below them. Consequently, sandstones, even of the same area, are often separated and correlated with difficulty. It is for this reason that an effort is made to determine a means by which each sandstone may be identified"--Introduction, page 1.

An Investigation In Concentrating A Certain Tailing On Wilfley Tables, Theodore Saunders Dunn, Roy Nicoll Mcbride

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this investigation was to determine the adaptibility sic to concentration on a Wilfley table of a certain tailing carrying silver, lead, and zinc. The material was from the tailing dump of the Red Elephant Mine, operated by the Danaher Mining and Milling Company, of Hailey, Idaho, who are now considering treating this material if it can be done economically"--page 2.

Flotation Applied To Basic Ores, Orion Dexter Neal

Bachelors Theses

"Concentration, by flotation, as used in to-day is limited to the ores containing an acid gangue. Although, it is probable, that in a few instances flotation schemes are being used on certain ores containing basic gangue, the processes are carefully guarded as trade secrets. It was with ores containing basic gangue that the experiments embodied in this thesis were made, in an effort to determine some means of concentration and also to determine the best conditions for some of the varying factors"--page 1.

The Determination Of The Critical Sizes In Table Concentration, Julius C. Miller, John N. Webster

Bachelors Theses

"It has been observed in table concentration that the ore band consists of the coarest sic particles of ore on the bottom or low side. Further up on this ore band the coarse particles grade into finer particles, until a certain marked degree of fineness is reached by which the mineral can no longer adhere to the table top, but must be carried over by the wash water as slimes. To determine the critical size of ore of practical value which will remain in the concentrates band, under certain variable conditions, is the purport of this thesis"--Object of Experiment, page …

The Measurement Of Mineral Electrode Potentials, John Charavelle Ingram

Bachelors Theses

"The present investigation was undertaken with a view to consider the variables which tend to cause inaccuracy in the above mentioned measurements and as preliminary to a further study of the subject by the Missouri Bureau of Geology and Mines. The subject is one which, judging from the work of others and from my own experience, will require much more experimentation before results are obtained which are sufficiently reliable for the use of the economic geologist"--Introduction, page 3-4.

Flotation Applied To Joplin Sludge, Thaddeus C. Wilson, Gustaf Axel Hellstrand

Bachelors Theses

"The sludge (fine material) which daily is being sent to the tailing dump by the Joplin mills contains values in lead and zinc often in excess, as to percentage, of that of the crude ore. At present no attempt is being made to treat this It is at this point that it is proposed to introduce some flotation process to supplement the ordinary scheme of wet concentration. With this end in view we have conducted a series of experiments in the flotation of a Joplin sludge"--page 2-3.

The Preservation And Interpretation Of Ripple Marks And Sun Cracks, Donald Hewson Radcliffe

Bachelors Theses

"The Roubideaux sandstone (Cambrian) which is rather extensively found in the vicinity of Rolla, Mo., offers exceptional opportunities for the study of ripple marks and sun cracks in place. Fig. 1 shows the principal localities in which these structures are to be found in this vicinity.

The statement is made by Van Hise and others that ripple marks can be used in determining structures, and that to do this it is necessary to be able to tell whether a ripple mark is right side up or overturned. The rule as laid down by them is: That a normal ripple mark …

Volhard's Volumetric Method For Manganese, John A. Murphy

Bachelors Theses

"The purpose of this article and the data contained is an attempt to show how the percentage of manganese varies with different mounts of zinc salt present. It was also intended to determine the ratio of manganese to oxygen and zinc in the brown percipitate sic obtained upon the titration of manganese sulphate against a permanganate solution in the presence of varying quantities of zinc, but through an oversight the data is insufficient for this purpose"--Introduction, page 2.

Some Assay Problems, James Howard Chase

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this thesis is to attempt to solve a few of the many problems of assaying. Each problem is handled separately from, and independently of the others"--page 1.

The Determination Of The Settling Velocity Of Certain Minerals Common In Ore-Dressing, Oscar N. Bribach, Robert Winters Johnson

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this thesis is to determine the settling velocity of certain minerals common in ore-dressing work. The minerals used in the experiments were marcasite and chert. These two minerals were chosen because there was a convenient supply of both from which pure and uniform particles could be obtained"--page 4.

Roasting Pyrite For Magnetism With Minimum Sulphur Volatilization, Dale Irwin Hayes, Clark Watson Wright

Bachelors Theses

"In Wisconsin and other zinc mining districts the blende is frequently found associated with pyrite and marcasite. In the Wisconsin district, especially, the marcasite content of the mine-run ore is high being frequently equal to and in many cases greater than the sphalerite content. At time the marcasite and sphalerite together constitute as much as 25 or 30% of the min-run ore. The characteristic milling treatment of this ore is; first, hand-picking, and then over grizzlies, tromells, rougher and cleaner jigs. Owing to the fact that marcasite and sphalerite differ but slightly in specific gravity the jig concentrate obtained is …
