The Oxidation Of Natural Sulphides, Harry Clay Kibe

Bachelors Theses

"Work upon the oxidation of natural sulphides done at this laboratory indicates that laboratory methods might be successfully employed in seeking explanations of certain actual problems in the theory of ore deposition. This led me to experiment further with galena, sphalerite, and iron pyrite, which work confirms the results of Gottschalk and Buehler, namely, that the course of an oxidation is materially effected when mixtures of sulphides are employed rather than single individual minerals"--page 1.

The Design Of A Dam And The Investigation Of A Water Supply For The City Of Rolla, Missouri, Frank Xavier Nachtman, Ernst Lorenze Chamberlain

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 …

Design Of Reinforced Concrete Water Tower And Tank, Harvey Oden Garst, Pearl Frederick Michael

Bachelors Theses

"Theoretically the most economical dimension for a flat bottomed cylindrical tank would be such that the height of the tank is equal to the diameter, but such a tank does not look as well as one which has the height a little greater than the diameter and as the cost will be affected but little by making the height a few feet greater than the diameter, the most economical design will not be strictly carried out in this particular"--Data, page 1.

Square Set System Of Timbering As Employed By The Shannon Copper Co., Ray Eugene Hoffman

Professional Degree Theses

"The properties of The Shannon Copper Co., consisting of mine and smelter, are located in the Southeastern part of Arizona in what is known as the Clifton-Morenci District. The smelter is located at Clifton and the mine at Metcalf, eight miles distant on an iron capped mountain known as Serro Preito.

From a geological standpoint the ore deposits of the Clifton-Morenci District are a freak. There are no fissure veins of any consequence in the district; all the large deposits are found in bodies, the ore usually occurring in a soft porphyry.

Underlying the iron capping on the Shannon property …

Pot Roasting Of Lead Ores, Ralph Robert Benedict, Edward Phillip Barrett, Frank William Harper

Bachelors Theses

"In this thesis for a starting point, we attempted a roast of straight galena with no diluent. As anticipated the results were nil. We next attempted the roast with a mixture of galena and silica, and obtained fair results. Our next experiment was to use limestone with the galena. Because of the large percentage of limestone present the results were not satisfactory. Next pyrites and limestone were used with the galena, and excellent results were obtained. We made another run, using pyrites and limestone, but increasing the per-centage of galena by 25%. This run was also very successful. From these …

Development Of Power On Little Piney River, James Duncan Fowler, Frank Leroy Flynt

Bachelors Theses

"Little Piney River has its source in the southern part of Phelps County, Missouri. Its general direction is north until its junction with Beaver Creek. Then it flows nearly due west and empties into the Gasconade River near Arlington, Mo. It drains an area of approximately two hundred square miles. The slopes of its drainage area being very steep, it is subject to large and sudden rises. As it is largely a spring fed stream its minimum flow is not far below its normal stage. The stream abounds in rapids with from a few inches to a foot or more …

The Effect Of Antimony On The Assay Of Gold And Silver Ores, Herman Carl Hase, Charles Lewis French

Effect Of Arsenic On Assay For Gold And Silver, Rosco Conkling Ham, Frederick Arnold Moore

Bachelors Theses

"In presenting the within thesis, it is not claimed by the authors that the experiments have been, by any means, exhaustive of the subject. Neither is any claim made to original research work other than a series of simple experiments with a view to determining, if possible, some of the more important effects of Arsenic upon a fire assay for gold and silver as met with in the ordinary assay laboratory. To make a work complete and exhaustive on such a subject will require much more time and more complete apparatus than was available in the experiments covered by this …

Effects Of Copper On The Cupellation Of Silver, Charles A. Baker, Miles Sedivy

Bachelors Theses

The Effect Of Certain Minerals Upon The Volatilization Of Silver Chloride, Boyd Dudley Jr.

Bachelors Theses

"The work undertaken in this investigation was first suggested in connection with the analytical determination of Silver and Chlorine by weighing silver chloride. Later, however, the experiments assumed a metallurgical character. The final purpose of the experiments was to determine the effect of a few of the common mineral constituents of ores on the loss of silver during a chloridizing roast. In the metallurgy of silver it is frequently necessary to change the silver bearing minerals into silver chloride"--page 1.

The Composition And Analysis Of Zinc-Lead Pigment, Evans Walker Buskett

Professional Degree Theses

"Zinc is present as oxide and sulphate. There are also probably zinc and lead sulphites. It has been suggested that there may be carbonates in this pigment, but this is not probable as the high temperature of the furnace, the complete combustion of the fuel to CO2 and the large excess of SO2 gas in the bagroom would tend to prevent their formation. There is also a chemical combination between the zinc oxide and the lead oxide which is probably a zinc plumbate. Some light can be thrown on the subject by the following experiments:"--page 1.
