The Development Of Spinels In Two Component Coloring Oxide Systems And Their Applications As Underglaze And Overglaze Colors, Michael Edward Green Jan 1937

The Development Of Spinels In Two Component Coloring Oxide Systems And Their Applications As Underglaze And Overglaze Colors, Michael Edward Green

Bachelors Theses

"For many years the fact has been known that when two or more of the coloring oxides are intimately mixed together and fired, there is a reaction between the components of the mixture. Little is known of these reactions - whether they are chemical, physical or mineralogical changes in the nature of the substances. The purpose of this investigation has been to ascertain the true nature of these reactions and the effect of the changes in the two components making up the system, upon their uses as underglaze and overglaze colors as applied in the ceramic industry"--Introduction, page 1.

Pyrochemical Changes In Missouri Halloysite, Frank Joseph Zvanut Jan 1937

Pyrochemical Changes In Missouri Halloysite, Frank Joseph Zvanut

Doctoral Dissertations

"For centuries it has been known that the application of heat to a clay or a clay body produces changes that make it an entirely different substance from the original raw clay. Ever since the earliest civilizations produced crude building brick by baking formed clay bodies in the sun's rays, mankind has been speculating on the nature of the changes that convert soft, friable, plastic clays into hard, strong, non-plastic, rock-like masses. It has been only within the last two decades, however, that progress has been made in the solution of problems dealing with the resultant products in fired clay …

A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling Jun 1936

A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In many deposits of silver ores the grade of the ore de­creases considerably a few hundred feet below the surface. It is believed that in many cases the better ores owe their richness in part to the process of sulphide enrichment. It is recognized, however, that many rich silver ores are hypogene deposits that have been affected very little, if any, by processes of enrichment.

The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick May 1936

The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The use of zinc as a structural metal has been militated against by two of its properties, namely, its low tensile strength and its susceptibility to grain growth. The importance of these factors can be appreciated when it is realized that the tensile strength of coarsely crystalline cast zinc is 4,000 pounds per square inch, while finely crystalline cast zinc has a tensile strength of 12,000 pounds per square inch.

The Use Of Fluorspar As A Flux Ingredient In Ceramic Bodies, Edward Henry Frauenfelder Jan 1936

The Use Of Fluorspar As A Flux Ingredient In Ceramic Bodies, Edward Henry Frauenfelder

Bachelors Theses

"The term "flux" is a relative one and does not refer to any particular class of substances. A flux is any material which will lower the softening, fusion, or liquifying sic temperature of another Bases act as fluxes to siliceous substances while in basic compositions like Portland cement, silica is a flux. Feldspar is a flux for white ware mixtures, and is regarded as a refractory in the low temperature enamels. Although fluorspar is used in considerable quantities in many divisions of the ceramic industry, namely: the glassware division, the enamels division, and in the manufacture of cement, its use …

Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brasses, Thomas Barker Jr. May 1935

Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brasses, Thomas Barker Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Reclaimed metals, or secondary metals, are becoming of great im­portance in the metal industries of the world. Secondary metals are an important factor in production. The increase in the secondary production of copper is due to many factors. One of these may be its permenance, that is, the metal does not corrode very readily. Another reason for increase in production is the high price paid for it.

The Geology Of Lost Creek Canyon With Special Reference To Igneous Activity, John Kolesar May 1935

The Geology Of Lost Creek Canyon With Special Reference To Igneous Activity, John Kolesar

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This investigation was undertaken primarily as a problem in geologic mapping, coupled with a study of stratigraphy, glaciation, igneous phenomena, and structure. The area is admirably suited to a study of geology and geologic events. Because it is small in extent, the area was studied in some detail during the time which was devoted to field work. The record of igneous activity of past geological ages is re­markably well exposed, since Lost Creek Canyon was carved through the roof of a stock or batholith by the glaciers of the Pleistocene epoch.

Occurrence And Origin Of Placer Gold In Montana, John K. Halse May 1935

Occurrence And Origin Of Placer Gold In Montana, John K. Halse

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

From time immemorial man has used gold as a medium of exchange, a mea­sure of value, as jewelry and for ornamentation. Placer gold has led dir­ectly or indirectly to the settlement of lands, California and Alaska being the two best known examples. It has led the way to the discovery of other important mineral wealth, the discovery of the copper and silver deposits at Butte, Montana and the discovery of the silver deposits at Cripple Creek, Colorado being two good examples.
