Organic Ion-Exchange Materials, Harry Burrell

Theses

This thesis is offered as partial fulfilment for the degree of Chemical Engineer at the Newark College of Engineering. It covers a very new subject - one which has been rather intensively developed by several investigators during the past three years. The writer has had the fortunate opportunity of working on organic ion-exchange materials at the Ellis-Foster Co., which kindly gave permission through Mr. Carleton Ellis for the publication of experimental results. Many thanks are due to Dr. Frank B. Root, the laboratory director, whose gracious, constructive criticisms aided the writer in all phases of the work.

A Comparison Of Methods For The Determination Of Iron In Clays And Related Ceramic Materials, Hoyt Gillum Thompson

Masters Theses

"Iron is always present in clay and ceramic products. This element has a definite effect upon the properties of substances containing it, hence it is important for the ceramist to know the exact amount of this element present in a ceramic material. Many methods have been devised for the precise determination of iron, both in large and small amounts. Of the many methods used, the American Society for Testing Materials has listed only two for the examination of clays, refractories, and similar material...However the amounts of iron for which these methods are most suitable are not given. Nor does the …

The Sorption Of Metallic Ions By Wood Pulp During Purification, Harold Edgar Boyd

Masters Theses

"The cost of producing cellulose acetate, and the difficulties attending its dissolving, plasticizing, and application to specific uses are problems which must be investigated before the ultimate commercial development of the material can be realized. The price of the cellulose used as raw material for acetylation is one of the primary factors influencing the cost of the finished product. At present, cotton linters constitutes the chief practical souce [sic] of acetate, being almost pure alpha-cellulose, and cheaper than staple cotton, our other source of high alpha-cellulose, Wood pulp is the only other material offering promise as a substitute for cotton, …

Manufacture And Application Of Rubber Belting, Lynn Harbison

Professional Degree Theses

"Rubber belting is one of the major products manufactured by the rubber companies and a wide variety of applications is found among many industries. These applications require belts which will meet the needs of the purchasing party both from a cost and a maintenance viewpoint. Belts are installed and operated for two basic purposes, namely, transmission of power and conveyance of level...Transmission and conveyor belting are fundamentally the same for one important factor; this factor is power transmission. Other data are necessary to make and select a belt of the proper type, construction and size. The subject of rubber being …

The Fluorine And Manganese Content Of Certain Missouri Waters, Erwin Charles Hoeman

Masters Theses

"Since early in 1931, considerable attention has been brought to bear upon the subject of fluorides in drinking water supplies, following the discovery of high fluoride concentrations in waters consumed by persons afflicted with the dental defect known as mottled enamel. Analyses have been made, in the course of this study, of a comparatively large number of Missouri waters. The waters analyzed have been collected and made available by the Missouri Geological Survey and Water Resources. They have been secured from diverse sources and include surface waters and underground waters from different geological formations, throughout the State of Missouri"--Introduction, page …

The Bromine And Iodine Content Of Certain Saline Ground Waters Of Missouri, Erwin Carl Meckfessel

Masters Theses

"This report on the saline waters of Missouri covers a preliminary investigation carried on in cooperation with the Geological Survey of Missouri and through the funds appropriated for an F E R A project.

The information contained herein will give the bromine content of the saline waters of Missouri from those districts from which samples were obtainable. The samples were obligingly furnished by the Missouri Geological Survey together with a complete geological, geographical, and chemical analysis of each sample.

The relationship between the occurrence of bromine in saline waters of other parts of the country and those saline waters investigated …

The Photobromination Of Azobenzene, Oden Cass Garst

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to make a study of the photobromination of azobenzene. The effect of various variables has been studied. The factors considered were, temperature, frequency of light, and concentration. Information on photobrominations is of great scientific importance, as it opens up a comparatively new field of research, and also contributes further data which helps to establish the quantum theory, if indeed this theory is still in controversy"--Introduction, page 3.

A Study Of The Effects Of Paraffin Wax Upon The Viscosities Of Lubricating Oils, Charles Leo William Hunze

Masters Theses

"The determination of the mean molecular weight of oils and paraffin waxes may have significance as: (1) an important property from a purely research point of view; (2) a step towards structure determination; (3) a study of molecular association with viscosity, making possible the application of well established viscosity binary mixture formulas to oil blends and oil and paraffin wax blends; (4) an aid in the calculations of latent heats for refinery engineering purposes (see A.A. Ashworth's applications of this property); (5) a possible means for identifying bitumens of unknown origin, and determining the approximate proportion of each type in …

The Study And Solution Of A Corrosion Problem Induced By Air Conditioning, Frederick William Hoertel

Professional Degree Theses

"A recent personal investigation conducted by the writer has disclosed the extremely interesting fact that almost every large air conditioning plant in operation in St. Louis is experiencing serious difficulty in operation due to corrosion of some component part. With the ever increasing number of installations of large air conditioning plants the problem of corrosion prevention is becoming one of major economic importance"--Introduction, page 7.

A Study Of The Evaporation Of Organic Liquids And Mixtures Of Organic Liquids, George Walter Eckert

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is to make a study of the evaporation of organic solvents. The relative rates of evaporation of the single substances and binary and ternary mixtures are to be considered. A study of the changes in composition of binary and ternary mixtures that occur on evaporation are to be made. Information on the evaporation of organic liquids is important in relation to lacquers, and for that reason the solvents used in this work are liquids commonly used in making lacquers"--Introduction, page 2.

A Method For Increasing The Iodine Value Of The Saturated Fatty Acids, Richard Groves Holmes

Masters Theses

"The work covered by this thesis was undertaken with the idea of finding a method whereby unsaturated oils, of the drying type (those having iodine values of one hundred fifty or above), could be made from the saturated fatty acids. After an exhaustive search of the literature no evidence was found that this means of producing the unsaturated acids had ever been developed. Work has been done on the chlorination products of the fatty acids, the processes being covered by patents. No evidence however was given as to the possible structure of these compounds"--Introduction, page 1.

The Relation Between The Mean Molecular Weight And The Absolute Viscosity Of Lubricating Oils, John Isler Moore

Masters Theses

"Of all the properties required of a good lubricant the most important is that of the viscosity at the temperature of its use. Most lubricants consist of oils blended or compounded together in such a way as to produce an oil of a desired viscosity, falling in the special group of viscosities expressed by the Society of Automotive Engineers in their tabulations.

There have been several methods developed to enable the refiner to blend quickly and efficiently although Bell stated that the methods were largely that of trial and error. Herschel formed a chart for blending by the logarithmic rule …
