Concentration Of Manganese Dioxide From Philipsburg, Montana, W. M. Mcauliffe
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Imports of manganese ore probably supply a major proportion of the needs of the United States. Domestic production is reported to be higher than pre-war levels, but does not equal that of the peak production year of 1943. In 1946, the Anaconda Copper Mining Company accounted for 90 percent of the total shipments of manganese nodules, and this company is the largest producer of domestic metallurgical ore in the United States.

Leaching Of Low Grade Rhodochrosite, E. D. King
Leaching Of Low Grade Rhodochrosite, E. D. King
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Although there are many uses for manganese today, none of them approaches its importance as a deoxidizing agent in the manufacture of steels. Without manganese the steelmaking industry would be very seriously handicapped. The metallurgy of manganese has been developed around the high-grade ores, and unfortunately, our reserves of high-grade ores are very limited.

The Electrodeposition Of Chromium From Trivalent Salt Solutions, Bahri Ersoz
The Electrodeposition Of Chromium From Trivalent Salt Solutions, Bahri Ersoz
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The enormous number of previous experiments and researches for the improvement of the commercial chromic acid bath, did not succeed even in the partial elimination of any one of the disadvantages of chromic acid bath. This led the author to believe that the poor performance is an inherent quality of the chromic acid bath, and is due to the fact that the deposition occurs from the higher state of oxidation.

The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy
The Effect Of Boron On The Hardenability Of Steel, William J. Foy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Many attempts have been made to improve iron and steel and their alloys by the addition of boron. The results obtained were not encouraging for the reason that the amount of boron used, generally from 0.2 to 2.0 per cent is altogether too high. This percentage of boron renders the product hard and brittle and of late the experiments with boron in this connection have been practically abandoned.

The Recovery Of Zinc From Butte Mine Waters, Edmond M. Fern
The Recovery Of Zinc From Butte Mine Waters, Edmond M. Fern
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Very little work has been done towards the recovery of zinc from mine water because the zinc content of the water is generally low. As different from copper, which can very easily be replaced by iron in any of its solutions, zinc is very high up in the electro-chemical series and so the few metals above zinc, most of which are rare and hence expensive, cannot be used to replace zinc from its solution.
