Difference In Pyrometric Cone Equivalent Between Raw And Calcined Clay, Charles Alfred Freeman Jan 1928

Difference In Pyrometric Cone Equivalent Between Raw And Calcined Clay, Charles Alfred Freeman

Bachelors Theses

"In a recent survey of the refractories field with particular respect to the Pyrometric Cone Equivalent of different clays it was suggested that a difference in the P. C. E. value of clays might be found due to different stages of heat treatment that these clays had previously undergone. At present there is considerable apparent lack of information regarding this problem. It is evidenced largely in the samples of clay sent into commercial testing and research laboratories by manufacturers who are attempting to develop definite properties from a given clay or clay body. There is a large difference in the …


On The Permanent Growth Of Grey Iron, Walter Edward Remmers Jan 1927

On The Permanent Growth Of Grey Iron, Walter Edward Remmers

Professional Degree Theses

"After making a survey of the available information on the subject of permanent growth in grey iron castings, it was found that very little definite information is available and such as is available does not seem to satisfy all conditions. As is perhaps generally known, grey iron castings withstand a growth in volume upon repeated heating and cooling, which growth is a permanent deformation and is not a function of the temperature co-efficient"--Review of Published Work, page 3.

The Properties Of The Fire Clays Used For The Manufacture Of Zinc Retorts, Adolph Harmon Kuechler Jan 1925

The Properties Of The Fire Clays Used For The Manufacture Of Zinc Retorts, Adolph Harmon Kuechler

Masters Theses

"The ultimate object of this refractories investigation is to develop a body for zinc retorts, or changes in the method of their manufacture, that will result in better retorts than the ones now in use. In doing this, the question of permissible cost must, at all times, be kept in mind. The immediate object of the present phase of this investigation, of which this thesis covers only a part, is to determine the physical and chemical properties of the refractories (fire clays, grogs, bodies, etc.) now used for the manufacture of zinc retorts. This will be a basis for later …


The Chloride Volatilization Of Silver And Lead From Zinc Concentrate, Edward Phillip Barrett Jan 1924

An Investigation Of The Possibility Of A Missouri Furnace Obtaining An Iron Ore Supply From The State, Donald Foster Updike

Professional Degree Theses

"The material for this thesis and the observations and conclusions drawn are all the result of the writers connection with a group who were engaged by Brown Brothers to determine the possibility of supplying the St. Louis Coke and Chemical Company with iron ore from the state. The original idea was to try to obtain the Coke Companies complete requirement from the state. While the results are in a sense negative, the company appreciated the fact that, in a case of this kind, even negative results have a value"--Introduction, page 4.


Hydro-Electric Treatment Of Joplin-Miami Zinc Concentrate, David Francis Walsh Jan 1924

Hydro-Electric Treatment Of Joplin-Miami Zinc Concentrate, David Francis Walsh

Masters Theses

"The Electrolytic Process is a process capable of almost unlimited mechanicalization. For obvious reasons it is more economic to treat high grade concentrates; yet, the extremely high grade concentrates are not essential. The Electrolytic Process can treat economically concentrates as low as 30.% zinc under certain conditions. It is significant that as the grade of concentrates offered for treatment is lowered, the treatment cost per ton of concentrates decreases for the Electrolytic Process; whereas, it will increase, as previously stated, for the Retort Process. It is seen then that the position of the Electrolytic Process is strengthened where lower grade …


The Reduction Of Zinc Oxide By Carbon, George August Zeller Jan 1924

The Reduction Of Zinc Oxide By Carbon, George August Zeller

Masters Theses

"In spite of the fact that the reduction of zinc oxide by carbon is the fundamental reaction upon which the pyrometallurgy of zinc is based, there is a decided lack of accurate knowledge concerning the mechanism of the reaction, the temperature at which it begins, and the effect of various factors upon the rate at which it takes place"--Introduction, page 1.

Masters Theses

"In 1921, an investigation was carried on by Messrs. Howe, Foley and Winlock, under the auspices of the National Research Council, the results of which were published under the title of - "Influence of Temperature, Time and Rate of Cooling on Physical Properties of Carbon Steel," by the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, February, 1923. These results showed that all physical properties of a 0.34 C. percent steel are improved by increasing the rate of cooling from temperatures above the critical range up to a certain rapidity beyond which, there is a gain in strength at the expense …


On The Breakage Of Rock Drill Steel, Muir Luken Frey Jan 1923

On The Breakage Of Rock Drill Steel, Muir Luken Frey

Masters Theses

"Prior to 1920 there was little attention paid to the general problem of breakage of rock drill steel. Each locality had its problem and the matter was treated as a purely local one, independent upon conditions in that particular section. But in the above-mentioned year, there arose an interest of wider scope, from what causes it is impossible to determine accurately, and the matter is now the subject of a broad investigation in which the users of rock drill steel, the United States Bureau of Mines, and the United States Bureau of Standards are cooperating...There is, to date, no satisfactory …


Effect Of Time And Temperature On Distillation Of Zinc-Lead-Silver Complex Sulphide Concentrates, Ernest Sterling Wheeler Jan 1923

Effect Of Time And Temperature On Distillation Of Zinc-Lead-Silver Complex Sulphide Concentrates, Ernest Sterling Wheeler

Masters Theses

"Accurate information is lacking as to the effect of temperature and time of distillation on the relative proportions of zinc, lead and silver volatilized from complex ores, and while it is evident that the possibility of the commercial treatment of these complex ores has engaged the attention of metallurgists for years, it is one that will still bear investigation even on a small scale"--Statement of Problem, page 5.

The Roasting And Magnetic Separation Of Wisconsin Ores And The Utilization Of The By-Products, Earl George Deutman Jan 1922

The Roasting And Magnetic Separation Of Wisconsin Ores And The Utilization Of The By-Products, Earl George Deutman

Professional Degree Theses

"In the Wisconsin field, the zinc blende is usually found associated with iron sulphide in the form of marcasite. This ore, after being milled and concentrated at the mines, is sent to separating plants for further treatment by roasting and magnetic separation, inasmuch as the mixed blende and marcasite concentrate, owing to the high iron content, is not suitable for the zinc smelter, and the magnetic separation scheme of separation must be resorted to"--page 1.


A Metallographic Study Of Copper Mattes, Edward James Torrence Jan 1922

A Metallographic Study Of Copper Mattes, Edward James Torrence

Bachelors Theses

"The metallographic knowledge of copper mattes or mattes in general for that matter, although extensive, is, to put it mildly, rather diversified. One authority, for instance, believes that mattes are sulphide dissolving compounds there being no eutectiferous series involved. Another believes that the matte constituents enter into a eutectiferous series, compounds being present. Still a third contends that there are no compounds formed but that a simple eutectiferous range exists between certain limits outside of which the end members of the series form solid solutions with each other. In so far as there exists seeming absolute proof for all of …

High Speed Steel - Its History, Development, Manfacture, Metallography, And Constitution, Including An Extended Bibliography, James Presley Gill Jan 1922

High Speed Steel - Its History, Development, Manfacture, Metallography, And Constitution, Including An Extended Bibliography, James Presley Gill

Masters Theses

"There is no doubt but that the making of Steel was known and practiced by the early Greeks probably several centuries before the birth of Christ. There have been discoveries of pre-historic forges and smelters evidently used for the making of iron and steel and it is certain that implements made of these materials dates back to antiquity. As to the methods of making the steels of antiquity there is little known, but it is quite probable since iron has a strong affinity for carbon that in the forging of the iron it's contact with the carbonaceous fuel would absorb …


The Heat Treatment Of Cast Steel, Fred Grotts Jan 1921

The Heat Treatment Of Cast Steel, Fred Grotts

Professional Degree Theses

"Owing to many difficulties reported from the battle fields of France also from many sections of the United States, Mexico, Africa and South America relative to the functioning of the "Caterpillar" track an intensive research was begun early in the spring of 1919 to develop or perfect a material that could be made into intricate forms and which would have such physical properties as would withstand to a maximum degree, the abrasive action of rock and sand while at the same time having a high tensile strength and resistance to shock. A further requisite was that this material must be …


The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Chamber Process At Isabella, Tennessee, Albert Leo Trent Jan 1921

The Manufacture Of Sulphuric Acid By The Chamber Process At Isabella, Tennessee, Albert Leo Trent

Professional Degree Theses

"As the regions surrounding the smelteries are growing more densely populated, the companies operating in these districts find if necessary in many cases to take care of their waste gases which are injurious to the surrounding vegetation and thereby avoid many expensive lawsuits and claims from the land owners in the district...The smelters at once began to look around for some method of taking care of their fumes...The companies then began to install the more expensive process of handling their fumes by adding a sulphuric acid plant to their smeltery. This is very expensive to install but is not only …


Metallurgical Bookkeeping, John Owen Ambler Jan 1920

Metallurgical Bookkeeping, John Owen Ambler

Professional Degree Theses

"A system of costs and metallurgical records similar to that outlined herein is in use in a number of modern Smelters, and is of interest as showing what information is desirable for proper plant control. From a study of this information, which is usually compiled monthly in such a manner that comparisons may be readily made, it is possible to modify current practice to obtain maximum operating efficiency, and to approximate very closely the benefit that may be derived from changes in and additions to the plant itself and the methods of operation, or in the materials received and treated. …

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 …
