Furfural (Furfuraldehyde) And Some Of Its Derivatives, Marion Smith Badollet

Masters Theses

"In the spring of 1919 the Eastman Kodak laboratories suggested to the chemistry department of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy that experiments on small-scale production of furfural be undertaken. After a series of experiments a small amount of this product was made and a report was given before the American chemical Society at St. Louis in April 1920. The furfural prepared at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy was sold to the Eastman Kodak laboratories. Within recent years very little experimental work has been done on furfural. It commands a high price as only small amounts are …

Preliminary Study Of Possible Power Development On The Gasconade River, Charles Russell Barnard, Ronald Blair Wills, Harry Wesley Zieseniss

Bachelors Theses

"The location of a possible dam site on the Gasconade River as a thesis proved to be a very interesting subject. Our first trip pointed out to us that we had undertaken a large task. We also realized that our subject was too big to complete thouroughly sic in the time alloted. Due to this circumstance we tried to cover the essential facts and to eliminate as much of the detail work as possible. For instance, we made no attempt to make a complete survey of the basin, instead, we ran surveys for some distance up the river to give …

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 …

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 …


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 …


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 …

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 …

The Goltra Process Of Concentrating Iron Ores As Developed At Waukon, Iowa, Ernest Wander Jan 1917

The Goltra Process Of Concentrating Iron Ores As Developed At Waukon, Iowa, Ernest Wander

Professional Degree Theses

"The more or less impure iron bearing mineral occurs mixed with a very tenacious clay, in which are also found chert, cretaceous quartz pebbles, pockets of sand, masses of pebbles and sand cemented by hydrous iron oxide, (which in some cases partly replaces the silica) and several varieties of fossils, such as crinoids etc. The impurities mentioned are often an integral part of the ore particles, and are present in varying quantities thruout [sic] the deposit. But, besides the foreign matter which the eye can discern, the apparently pure mineral contains a varying percentage of silica and alumina, (as well …


Some Typical Bridges For Logging Railroad Construction, Frederick Hauenstein Jan 1917

Some Typical Bridges For Logging Railroad Construction, Frederick Hauenstein

Professional Degree Theses

"In some of the pine regions of the Ozark Mountains, a considerable portion of the country is rolling and rough, comprising a succession of hills and hollows. The most efficient method of logging such a tract is obtained by locating the logging road so as to secure a down grade haul for the logs, with consequent up grade return for the empty cars. This necessitates locating the main line of the railroad along the principal creek, and then laying spurs up the different tributary creeks as they are met. Such a procedure requires much crossing and re-crossing of creeks and …


Concentration Of A Joplin Slime By Flotation, Earl Joseph Weimer, Walter Harry Freudenberg Jan 1917

Concentration Of A Joplin Slime By Flotation, Earl Joseph Weimer, Walter Harry Freudenberg

Bachelors Theses

"Concentration of the Joplin slimes by means of flotation is a subject receiving considerable attention at the present time, due to high price of zinc. These slimes are the accumulation of the finer particles of the ore during the milling process, and their zinc content is well worth considering. The practice in the past has been to sluice these slimes into the tailing pond, as no economical method of saving the zinc had been employed. The object of our experiment was to economically extract from these slimes by flotation, a product of sufficient zinc content to be of commercial value"--Introduction, …
